Comparison of dynamic mode decomposition with other data-driven models for lung cancer incidence rate prediction
Introduction: Public health data analysis is critical to understanding disease trends. Existing analysis methods struggle with the complexity of public health data, which includes both location and time factors. Machine learning offers powerful tools but can be computationally expensive and require specialized knowledge. Dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) is an alternative that offers efficient analysis with fewer resources. This study explores app…

Overall, 280 articles were identified, with 22 meeting the inclusion…

By adopting inexpensive prevention efforts, such as promoting the state-sponsored tobacco cessation quitline, employers c…
