A Hybrid Mathematical Model for Epidemic Outbreak Forecasting Using Machine Learning and Cloud Computing
Abstract: The increasing frequency of infectious disease outbreaks has emphasized the necessity for intelligent epidemic surveillance systems capable of predicting disease spread at an early stage. Conventional outbreak detection approaches rely heavily on delayed statistical reporting and manual monitoring techniques, resulting in reduced responsiveness during critical periods. This paper presents a mathematical predictive framework for epidemic outbreak detection using machine learning and cloud computing technologies. The proposed framework integrates the Susceptible–Infected–Recovered …

A Threshold-Weighted Mathematical Fusion Model for Epidemic Outbreak Prediction Using SEIR Residual Dynamics and Cloud-Based Machine Learning
Abstract: Accurate prediction of epidemic outbreaks is critical for effective public health management, resource planning, early warning generation, and timely intervention by municipal authorities. Traditional compartmental models such as Susceptible–Exposed–Infectious–Recovered (SEIR) offer valuable epidemiological insights and mathematical interpretability; however, they may not adequately capture the complex nonlinear relationships present in real-world urban health systems. Conversely, data-driven machine learning techniques can identify hidden patterns in large datasets but often lack epidemiological structure …

Prevention of Breakthrough Varicella and Outbreaks by Two Dose Vaccination
Abstract: Among viral infections, one of the known human herpes viruses, Varicella-Zoster Virus (VZV) causes latent infection. The VZV causes two distinct diseases, varicella (chickenpox) and after latency shingles (herpes zoster). Although safe and effective vaccine is available, it is not widely used in many geographic areas mainly because of non-inclusion in the routine immunization schedule. Over the years, many countries have reported more than 90% reduction in number of varicella …
