This study uses annual time series data on under five
mortality rate for Panama from 1960 to 2020to 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 U5MR.
ANN model projections indicate that U5MR will remain around 15 deaths per 1000
live births throughout the out of sample period. Therefore, we encourage the
government of Panama to address all the various problems that contribute to
mortality among under five children.
