Predictors of mortality among neonates in Lusaka, Zambia: a comparative analysis of machine learning and traditional survival analysis techniques

While traditional Weibull models remain valuable for interpretability, machine learning approaches provide enhanced predictive accuracy. Hybrid modeling strategies may improve early risk identification and inform neonatal care in resource-limited settings.
