Abstract

This paper applies hierarchical clustering and Hamming Distance to analyze the temporal trends of infectious diseases across different regions of Uzbekistan. By leveraging hierarchical clustering, we effectively group regions based on disease similarity without requiring predefined cluster numbers. Hamming Distance further quantifies disease trajectory similarities, helping assess epidemiological patterns over time. Binary tree visualizations enhance the interpretability of clustering results, offering a novel method for identifying regional trends. The dataset includes yearly incidence rates of seven infectious diseases from 2012 to 2019, along with population, healthcare infrastructure, and geographic attributes for each region. This approach provides an interpretable framework for public health analysis and decision-making.
