Spatial Clusters of Cancer Mortality in Brazil: A Machine Learning Modeling Approach

Objectives: Our aim was to test if machine learning algorithms can predict cancer mortality (CM) at an ecological level and use these results to identify statistically significant spatial clusters of excess cancer mortality (eCM).Methods: Age-standardized CM was extracted from the official databases...
