Impact Factor (2025): 6.9
DOI Prefix: 10.47001/IRJIET
This study uses annual time series data on under five
mortality rate for Oman 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 U5MR will remain around 11
deaths per 1000 live births throughout the out of sample period. Therefore, we
encourage the government of Oman to address all the factors that significantly
contribute to under five mortality in the country.
