Abstract
Size of a family is very much affected by the demographic factors of that family like education and occupation of family members. Socio-Economic status and type of a family also play a major role in determining the family size. Data of more than half a thousand families was studied to find an association between family size and the above listed factors. A neural network was trained using TRAINGD and LEARNGDM as the training and the learning adaptive functions respectively. Later, a GUI was developed for the easy prediction of family size.
