The uncommon illness known as monkeypox is brought on by the monkeypox virus. The Orthopoxvirus genus belongs to the family Poxviridae, which also contains the monkeypox virus. The variola virus, which causes smallpox; the vaccinia virus, which is used in the smallpox vaccine; and the cowpox virus are all members of the Orthopoxvirus genus. There is no relationship between chickenpox and monkeypox. After two outbreaks of a disorder resembling pox, monkeypox was first discovered in colonies of monkeys kept for research in 1958. The illness, also known as “monkeypox”, still has no known cause. However, non-human primates and African rodents can spread the disease to humans (such as monkeys). In 1970, a human was exposed to monkeypox for the first time. Several additional nations in central and western Africa currently have documented cases of monkeypox. Before the 2022 outbreak, almost all instances of monkeypox in people outside of Africa were connected to either imported animals or foreign travel to nations where the illness frequently occurs. In this work, the most recent monkeypox dataset was evaluated and the significant instances were visualized. Additionally, nine different forecasting models were also used, and the prophet model emerged as the most reliable one when compared with all nine models with an MSE value of 41,922.55, an R2 score of 0.49, a MAPE value of 16.82, an MAE value of 146.29, and an RMSE value of 204.75, which could be considerable assistance to clinicians treating monkeypox patients and government agencies monitoring the origination and current state of the disease.
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) has become a major problem in modern times, and it is dubbed the silent assassin due to its delayed signs. To overcome these critical issues, early identification may minimize the prevalence of chronic diseases, though it is quite difficult because of different kinds of limitations in the dataset. The novelty of our study is that we extracted the best features from the dataset in order to provide the best classification models for diagnosing patients with chronic kidney disease. In our study, we used CKD patients’ clinical datasets to predict CKD using some popular machine learning algorithms. After handling missing values, K-means clustering has been performed. Then feature selection was done by applying the XGBoost feature selection algorithm. After selecting features from our dataset, we have used a variety of machine learning models to determine the best classification models, including Neural Network (NN), Random Forest (RF), Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Tree (RT), and Bagging Tree Model (BTM). Accuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity, and Kappa values were used to evaluate model performance.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
