This study focused on “riverine municipalities” hypothesizes presence of TB clusters area. We also aimed to train machine learning model differentiate municipalities classified as hot spots vs. non-hot using surveillance variables predictors. Methods: Data regarding incidence from 2019 2022 riverine town was collected Brazilian Health Ministry Informatics Department. Moran’s I used assess global spatial autocorrelation, while Getis-Ord GI* method employed detect high low-incidence clusters. A Random Forest machine-learning trained related cases predict among spot municipalities. Results: Our analysis revealed distinct geographical with low following west-to-east distribution pattern. The Classification utilizes six spots. achieved an Area Under Receiver Operator Curve (AUC-ROC) 0.81. Conclusion: Municipalities higher percentages recurrent cases, deaths due TB, antibiotic regimen changes, percentage new smoking history were best predictors prediction can be leveraged identify at highest risk being for disease, aiding policymakers evidenced-based tool direct resource allocation control

The energy sector plays a vital role in driving environmental and social advancements. Accurately predicting demand across various time frames offers numerous benefits, such as facilitating sustainable transition planning of resources. This research focuses on consumption using three individual models: Prophet, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), long short-term memory (LSTM). Additionally, it proposes an ensemble model that combines the predictions from all to enhance overall accuracy. approach aims leverage strengths each for better prediction performance.
