Philippine Dengue Cases

Dengue is a viral disease spread by Aedes aegypti mosquitoes. It is a problem in many tropical and subtropical parts of the world including Africa, Southeast Asia, and South America. In the Philippines, the viral disease is still endemic in all regions wherein annual cases have ranged from 200,000 to 400,000. In this dataset, the weekly cumulative confirmed cases of Dengue in the Philippines from January 1, 2017 to October 8, 2022 were collected from the Philippine Department of Health website. The Excel file has three sheets: Sheet 1 contains the raw data that was extracted from the DOH website; Sheet 2 contains the raw, computed (Δ(X_n-X_(n-1))), and imputed data that were used in building the ARIMA-GARCH and HW models; and, Sheet 3 contains the forecasts from the models considered. The data are useful as they as they can be used to train predictive models that can produce short-term forecasts of Dengue cases in the Philippines. These data can provide dynamic information to health officials and other concerned departments and agencies for surveillance, analysis, policy making, and decision making. The data are reusable and can be used to further explore the dengue cases in the Philippines.
