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-five
percent of suicide occurs in LMIC.In Pakistan information about suicide is limited. The study is about to
find the number of suicide from major cities of Pakistan and then predict the number of suicides by using
Neural Networks Algorithm. About 24639 cases were found in our research from 2001-18 in major
cities of Pakistan. Hanging and poisoning were the most common methods of suicide. The peak age of
suicide committers was 20-35 included males and females. The lowest number of suicide was in
Bahawalpur (130 from 2001 to 2018) and the Highest was in Lahore (5925 from 2001 to 2018).
