Epidemic diseases can be extremely dangerous with its hazarding influences. They may have negative effects on economies, businesses, environment, humans, and workforce. In this paper, some of the factors that are interrelated with COVID-19 pandemic have been examined using data mining methodologies and approaches. As a result of the analysis some rules and insights have been discovered and performances of the data mining algorithms have been evaluated. According to the analysis results, JRip algorithmic technique had the most correct classification rate and the lowest root mean squared error (RMSE). Considering classification rate and RMSE measure, JRip can be considered as an effective method in understanding factors that are related with corona virus caused deaths.

   Addiction to narcotics is one of the greatest health challenges in today’s world which has become a serious threat for social, economic, and cultural structures and has ruined a part of an active force of the society and it is one of the main factors of growth of diseases such as HIV and hepatitis. Today, addiction is known as a disease and welfare organization, and many of the dependent centers try to help the addicts treat this disease. In this study, using data mining algorithms and based on data collected from opioid withdrawal applicants referring to welfare organization, a prediction model is proposed to predict the success of opioid withdrawal applicants. In this study, the statistical population is comprised opioid withdrawal applicants in a welfare organization. This statistical population includes 26 features of 793 instances including men and women. The proposed model is a combination of meta-learning algorithms (decorate and bagging) and J48 decision tree implemented in Weka data mining software. The efficiency of the proposed model is evaluated in terms of precision, recall, Kappa, and root mean squared error and the results are compared with algorithms such as multilayer perceptron neural network, Naive Bayes, and Random Forest. The results of various experiments showed that the precision of the proposed model is 71.3% which is superior over the other compared algorithms.

In this paper, we study the problem of predicting new locations of groundwater in Jordan through the application of a proposed new method, Groundwater Prediction using Associative Classification (GwPAC). We identify features that differentiate locations of groundwater wells according to whether or not they contain water. In addition, we survey intelligent-based methods related to groundwater exploration and management. Three experimental analyses were conducted with the objective to evaluate the capability of data mining algorithms using real groundwater data from the Ministry of Water and Irrigation. In the first experiment, we investigated the performance of GwPAC against three well-known associative classification algorithms, namely CBA, CMAR and FACA. Furthermore, three rule-based algorithms — C4.5, Random Forest and PBC4cip — were investigated in the second experiment; further, so as to generalise the capability of using data mining for solving the groundwater detection problem, four benchmark algorithms — SVMs, NB, KNN and ANNs — were evaluated in the third experiment. From all the experiments, the results indicated that all considered data mining algorithms predict locations of groundwater with acceptable classification rate (all classification accuracies [Formula: see text]%), and can be useful methods when seeking to address the problem of exploring new groundwater locations.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a disease that reduces bone density and loses the quality of bone microstructure leading to an increased risk of fractures. It is one of the major causes of inability and death in elderly people. The current study aims at determining the factors influencing the incidence of osteoporosis and providing a predictive model for the disease diagnosis to increase the diagnostic speed and reduce diagnostic costs. Methods: An Individual's data including personal information, lifestyle, and disease information were reviewed. A new model has been presented based on the Cross-Industry Standard Process CRISP methodology. Besides, Support Vector Machine (SVM) and Bayes methods (Tree Augmented Naïve Bayes (TAN)) and Clementine12 have been used as data mining tools. Results: Some features have been detected to affect this disease. The rules have been extracted that can be used as a pattern for the prediction of the patients' status. Classification precision was calculated to be 88.39% for SVM, and 91.29% for  (TAN) when the precision of  TAN  is higher comparing to other methods. Conclusion: The most effective factors concerning osteoporosis are detected and can be used for a new sample with defined characteristics to predict the possibility of osteoporosis in a person.
