In this study, the ANN approach was applied to
analyze COVID-19 new cases in Cambodia. The employed data covers the period 1
January 2020 – 25 March 2021 and the out-of-sample period ranges over the
period 26 March – 31 July 2021. The residuals and forecast evaluation criteria
(Error, MSE and MAE) of the applied model indicate that the model is quite
stable. The results of the study indicate that COVID-19 cases are likely to
range between 0 and 200 cases over the out-of-sample period. Amongst other
suggested policy directions, there is need for the government of Cambodia to
ensure adherence to safety guidelines while continuing to create awareness
about the COVID-19 pandemic.
