This research aims to comprehend the evolution of radioactive isotopes Iodine-131 (I-131), Cesium-134 (Cs-134), and Cesium-137 (Cs-137) over time in diverse locations and analyze their relationships with the independent variables Longitude and Latitude using Linear Regression, Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and Canonical Correlation Analysis (CCA). The data used in this study were processed from the "DE.xlsx" file, including the imputation of missing values with 0 and column transformation into factors. The results of the Linear Regression analysis indicate a significant association between these isotopes and Longitude and Latitude. Additionally, PCA and CCA analyses reveal complex relationships between the isotopes and independent variables. This research provides valuable insights into the historical trends of radioactive isotopes Iodine-131 (I-131), Cesium-134 (Cs-134), and Cesium-137 (Cs-137) in various locations. The novel aspect and uniqueness of this study lie in the utilization of a comprehensive analytical approach, combining Linear Regression, PCA, and CCA to comprehend the relationships between isotopes and specific environmental factors. Moreover, this study significantly contributes to understanding the phenomena of radioactive isotopes and can serve as a foundation for further research in this field. The findings of this research are expected to support efforts in preventing and managing potential environmental and human health impacts of radioactive isotopes in the future. © 2023 Atom Indonesia.
