Predicting zero-dose vaccination status in 27 sub-Saharan African countries: a machine learning approach
To develop a machine learning (ML)-based predictive model for assessing the risk of zero-dose children using Demographic Health Survey data in sub-Saharan Africa. This study analysed pooled Demographic and Health Survey data from 27 countries in sub-Saharan Africa collected between 2016 and 2024. Data preprocessing included imputation, balancing of unequal classes and systematic feature selection. Seven ML models were trained and evaluated using performance metrics such as accuracy, recall and F1-score. Feature…

How to verify without trusting this page
Fetch the canonical text of any version from /api/record/TRV-2026-1153 and hash it yourself — for example shasum -a 256 on the saved canonical field. The result must equal content_hash, and each version’s text ends with prev:followed by the prior version’s hash (version 1 chains to 64 zeros). If a single character of any version had been altered since certification, the chain would not reproduce.
