This study uses annual time series data on under five
mortality rate (U5MR) for Mexico 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 revealed that U5MR will continue to
decline throughout the out of sample period. Therefore, we implore the Mexican
government to design local strategies that will keep under five mortality under
control.
