Abstract

The modeling of dengue fever cases is an important task to help public health officers to plan and prepare their resources to prevent dengue fever outbreak. In this paper, we present the time-series modeling of accumulated dengue fever cases acquired from the Malaysian Open Data Government Portal. Evaluation of the forecast for future dengue fever outbreak shows promising results, as evidence is presented for the trend and seasonal nature of dengue fever outbreaks in Malaysia.
