Impact Factor (2025): 6.9
DOI Prefix: 10.47001/IRJIET
This study uses annual time series data on under five
mortality rate (U5MR) for Trinidad and Tobago from 1960 to 2020 to predict
future trends of U5MR over the period 2021 to 2030. Residuals and model
evaluation criteria indicate that the applied ANN (12, 12, 1) model is stable
in forecasting under five mortality rate. ANN model projections suggest that
annual U5MR will hover around 16 deaths throughout the out of sample period.
Therefore, we encourage the government of Trinidad and Tobago to address all
the issues that affect the successful implementation of the third sustainable
development goal (SDG3) in order to all end all preventable under five deaths.
