This study uses annual time series data on under five
mortality rate for Philippines from 1960 to 2020 to predict future trends of
U5MR over the period 2021 to 2030. Residuals and forecast evaluation criteria
indicate that the applied ANN (12, 12, 1) model is stable in forecasting under
five mortality rate. ANN model projections indicate that annual U5MR will
remain around 27 deaths per 1000 live births throughout the out of sample
period. Therefore, we encourage the Philippines government to address all the
problems that significantly contribute to mortality among under five children.
