Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMachine Learning Based Prediction of Catch Yields in Small Scale FisheriesEpifelward Niño Olaivar Amora, Patrick D. CernaSmall-scale fisheries are critical for food security and livelihoods but increasingly face threats from overfishing and environmental change. This study employed machine learning to predict catch yields in Cogtong Bay, Philippines, using 3,478 records collected in 2020–2021 that included species, gear, location, season, and weather data. Models developed in Python with scikit-learn and XGBoost compared Random Forest (RF), Extreme Gradient … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 8 · 24 Aug 2026 · 1,096 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnchoring Public Health Forecasts: High-Precision Obesity Prevalence Estimation Via Hybrid Geodemographic Ensemble RegressionTrenton Ward, Isaac OsunmakindeObesity remains a major driver of chronic disease and rising healthcare costs in the United States. Yet, most existing predictive models rely on single-model classifiers and rarely incorporate spatial structure or ensemble-based regression, thereby limiting their ability to capture geodemographic variation. This study introduces a hybrid unsupervised–supervised ensemble framework that integrates K-Means spatial profiling with a Stacking Regressor to address … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 22, Issue 7 · 31 Jul 2026 · 632 accessesView PDFCite
