This research is based on the data of “Achol Foundation” which contains 2077 columns and 30 features. Using the Deep Learning Concept- Artificial Neural Network model used to predict the suicidal behavior of a single person. For this research, the parameters have been tuned by cleaning the data from complete data through data analysis. Data cleaning has been done through Excel and Python libraries and modeling has been done at Matlab.
