Data-driven machine learning algorithm model for pneumonia prediction and determinant factor stratification among children aged 6–23 months in Ethiopia
Random forest is the best model to predict pneumonia and stratify its determinant factors. The implications of this study are profound for advanced research methodology, tailored to promote effective health interventions such as lifestyle modification and behavioral intervention, based on individuals' unique features, specifically for stakeholders to take proactive childcare interventions. The study would serve as pioneering evidence for future research, and researchers are recommended to use deep learning algorithms to enhance prediction accuracy.
