Impact Factor (2025): 6.9
DOI Prefix: 10.47001/IRJIET
This study uses annual time series data on under five
mortality rate (U5MR) for Turkey 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 annual U5MR will
continue to decline over the out of sample period. Therefore, we encourage the
Turkish government to address all the factors that significantly affect the
successful implementation of the maternal and child health program.
