Infectious Diseases, K-Means Clustering, RapidMiner,, Data MiningAbstract
Infectious diseases pose a serious threat to human health. This research applies data mining techniques to transform large volumes of data into useful information. To address this complex issue, data analysis is essential for understanding the distribution patterns and characteristics of diseases. One method employed is the K-Means clustering algorithm, which effectively groups data based on similar characteristics. This research explores the application of the K-Means clustering algorithm to human infectious disease data in order to identify distribution patterns and relationships between cases. The goal is to analyze the data of six types of infectious diseases in humans, ranked from highest to lowest prevalence. The diseases examined include Tuberculosis (TB), Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever (DHF), Diarrhea, Influenza, Chickenpox, and Measles. The data used in this study was obtained from the recapitulation of human infectious disease records in the population of Pusuk II Simaninggir village from 2018 to 2022. The conclusion of this study is that the K-Means method, along with testing through the RapidMiner application, simplifies data processing, provides accurate final results, and is highly effective for big data analysis.
