Different forecasting models used in designing and managing dams have been developed recently. This report paper proposes a time-series forecasting model formed on the basis of assessing the missing values. This is followed by different variable selection to determination to gauge the reservoir’s water level. The investigation gathered data from the Klang Gates Dam Reservoir as well as daily rainfall data. -

Determine Neighboring Region Spatial Effect on Dengue Cases Using Ensemble ARIMA Models
www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Determine neighboring region spatial efect on dengue cases using ensemble ARIMA models Loshini Thiruchelvam1, Sarat Chandra Dass2, Vijanth Sagayan Asirvadam3*, Hanita Daud4 & Balvinder Singh Gill5 The state of Selangor, in Malaysia consist of urban and peri-urban centres with good transportation system, and suitable temperature levels with high precipitations and humidity which make the state ideal for high number of dengue cases, annually. This study investigates if districts within the Selangor state do infuence each other in determining pattern of dengue cases. Study compares two diferent models; the Autoregressive Integrated Moving Average (ARIMA) and Ensemble ARIMA models, using the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) measurement to gauge their performance tools. ARIMA model is developed using the epidemiological data of dengue cases, whereas ensemble ARIMA incorporates the neighbouring regions’ dengue models as the exogenous variable (X), into traditional ARIMA model. Ensemble ARIMA models have better model ft compared to the basic ARIMA models by incorporating neighbuoring efects of seven districts which made of state of Selangor. The AIC and BIC values of ensemble ARIMA models to be smaller compared to traditional ARIMA counterpart models. Thus, study concludes that pattern of dengue cases for a district is subject to spatial efects of its neighbouring districts and number of dengue cases in the surrounding areas. Dengue is a vector-borne disease, transmitted by two types of mosquito vectors; the Aedes Aegypti and Aedes Albopictus, where the life-cycle of the vector and transmission of the disease are closely related to climate variables1. Dengue is endemic in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide, and this includes Malaysia, spe- cifcally the state of Selangor2. -

Geospatial Health 9(1), 2014, pp. 131-140 Spatio-temporal patterns of dengue in Malaysia: combining address and sub-district level Cheong Y. Ling1,2, Oliver Gruebner3, Alexander Krämer4, Tobia Lakes1 1Geoinformation Science Lab, Geography Department, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Berlin, Germany; 2Medical Research Resource Centre, Institute for Medical Research, Jalan Pahang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia; 3Department of Epidemiology, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University, New York, USA; 4Department of Public Health Medicine, University of Bielefeld, Bielefeld, Germany Abstract. Spatio-temporal patterns of dengue risk in Malaysia were studied both at the address and the sub-district level in the province of Selangor and the Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur. We geocoded laboratory-confirmed dengue cases from the years 2008 to 2010 at the address level and further aggregated the cases in proportion to the population at risk at the sub-district level. Kulldorff’s spatial scan statistic was applied for the investigation that identified changing spatial patterns of dengue cases at both levels. At the address level, spatio-temporal clusters of dengue cases were concentrated at the central and south-eastern part of the study area in the early part of the years studied. Analyses at the sub-district level revealed a consistent spatial clustering of a high number of cases proportional to the population at risk. Linking both levels assisted in the identification of differences and confirmed the presence of areas at high risk for dengue infection. Our results suggest that the observed dengue cases had both a spatial and a temporal epidemiological component, which needs to be acknowl- edged and addressed to develop efficient control measures, including spatially explicit vector control. -
