Modelling and Forecasting Immunization against Measles Disease in Indonesia Using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN)

Abstract

In this research article, the ANN approach was applied to analyze child immunizations against measles in Indonesia. The employed annual data covers the period 1983-2019 and the out-of-sample period ranges over the period 2020-2030. The residuals and forecast evaluation criteria (Error, MSE and MAE) of the applied model indicate that the model is indeed stable. The ANN (12, 12, 1) model projections suggest that child immunization against measles in Indonesia is likely to remain around 77% per year over the next decade. The government of Indonesia is encouraged to intensify child health surveillance and control programs by adopting the suggested recommendations.
