Abstract:Dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is an acute febrile illness caused by a virus through the Aedes mosquito. North Sumatra is among the three provinces with the highest incidence and mortality rates in Indonesia. Mapping of DHF cases is very important in efforts to control and prevent the disease. The Partitioning Around Medoid (PAM) algorithm is commonly used to cluster DHF cases. The idea of PAM is a clustering algorithm with a similarity-based approach to grouping objects in one cluster. There are two main focu… Show more
