Two new research papers propose advanced statistical methods for forecasting malaria dynamics in Ghana. The first paper introduces a Bayesian nonlinear inference framework using an ensemble Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampler to model complex, age-specific fluctuations and provide probabilistic forecasts. The second paper presents a hybrid approach combining Gaussian Process Regression with Holt-Winters smoothing to improve accuracy and robustness in predicting malaria admissions, particularly for under-five populations. Both studies aim to enhance Ghana's national malaria control strategy by offering more reliable data-driven decision-making tools. AI
