Abstract
BACKGROUND: Under-5 mortality in Bangladesh remains a critical indicator of public health and socio-economic development. Traditional methods often struggle to capture the complex, non-linear relationships influencing under-5 mortality. This study leverages advanced machine learning models to more accurately predict under-5 mortality and its key determinants. By enhancing prediction accuracy, the study aims to provide actionable insights for improving child survival outcomes in Bangladesh.
