Under-Five Mortality Determinants in Nigeria via Cox Proportional Hazard Models

Nigeria is the focus of this dataset, which likely contains variables for analyzing determinants of child mortality. The data appears to be structured for survival analysis, specifically using Cox proportional hazard and frailty models. It originates from a paper published by IOSR Journals and is accessible via the Papers with Code platform.

Use Cases

• Modeling risk factors for child mortality using survival analysis (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Comparing the performance of standard Cox models versus frailty models on demographic data (inferred from domain, verify after download)
• Identifying key socio-economic or health determinants of under-five survival in a specific country (inferred from domain, verify after download)

Strengths

• Published on the Papers with Code platform, which often links to academic research.
• The title indicates a specific methodological application (Cox proportional hazard and frailty models) for a defined public health problem.

Limitations

• Metadata is minimal; actual content requires verification after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count, sample data, and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
