The approach began by establishing a vector autoregressive model (VAR). Then, a dynamic Bayesian networks (DBN) model was used for variable selection of environmental factors. Finally, a VAR model with constraints (CVAR) was established for predicting the incidence of HFMD in Chengdu city from 2011 to 2017. DBN showed that temperature was related to HFMD at lags 1 and 2. Humidity, wind speed, sunshine, PM<jats:sub>10<\/jats:sub>, SO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> and NO<jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub> were related to HFMD at lag 2. Compared with the autoregressive integrated moving average model with external variables (ARIMAX), the CVAR model had a higher coefficient of determination (<jats:italic>R<\/jats:italic><jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>, average difference: + 2.11%; <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> = 6.2051, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0003 &lt; 0.05), a lower root mean-squared error (\u221224.88%; <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> = \u22125.2898, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0007 &lt; 0.05) and a lower mean absolute percentage error (\u221216.69%; <jats:italic>t<\/jats:italic> = \u22124.3647, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> = 0.0024 &lt; 0.05). The accuracy of predicting the time-series shape was 88.16% for the CVAR model and 86.41% for ARIMAX. The CVAR model performed better in terms of variable selection, model interpretation and prediction. Therefore, it could be used by health authorities to identify potential HFMD outbreaks and develop disease control measures.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0950268821000091","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,15]],"date-time":"2021-01-15T06:14:53Z","timestamp":1610691293000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/policypage","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["How
