Abstract

Child mortality remains one of the most critical issues under investigation. This study focuses on describing the phenomenon of child mortality in Libya and examining the factors influencing it. Since child mortality is a variable that follows a Bernoulli process, logistic regression is utilized to estimate the model that represents the relationship between the variables and employs it for statistical prediction. Logistic models also enable prediction of the occurrence or non-occurrence of specific events. However, certain assumptions may not hold true, prompting the use of neural networks. Neural networks have the capability to model data and make predictions without relying on specific assumptions about the nature of the variables or their relationships.
