Suicide Rate Predictions In Pakistan By using Neural Networks

Abstract

Suicide is the understudied subject in Pakistan that is a cause of death all over the world. Seventy-fivepercent of suicide occurs in LMIC.In Pakistan information about suicide is limited. The study is about tofind the number of suicide from major cities of Pakistan and then predict the number of suicides by usingNeural Networks Algorithm. About 24639 cases were found in our research from 2001-18 in majorcities of Pakistan. Hanging and poisoning were the most common methods of suicide. The peak age ofsuicide committers was 20-35 included males and females. The lowest number of suicide was inBahawalpur (130 from 2001 to 2018) and the Highest was in Lahore (5925 from 2001 to 2018).
