PREDIKSI JUMLAH PENERIMAAN MAHASISWA BARU DENGAN METODE SINGLE EXPONENTIAL SMOOTHING (STUDI KASUS: AMIK ROYAL KISARAN)

Abstract

Abstract: A problem requires a solution to solve it. One of them is by using Prediction (Forcasting). Prediction is used to assess the prediction of conditions in the future. at AMIK Royal Kisaran, when it comes to making lecture schedules often hampered because there is no estimated number of students. The data used in this study is the data history of the last 15 Academic Years, from 2003/2004 to 2017/2018. Then the data is processed with the Single Exponential Smoothing Method. Alpha value 0 <1. Single Exponential Smoothing makes a comparison with the alpha value until alpha is found which has the minimum error. To find the value of the error, the MSE (Mean Square Error) method is used. The results of the testing of this method are in the academic year 2018/2019 prediction of the number of students for the Informatics Management Study Program as many as 89 people and for Students for the Computer Engineering Study Program as many as 30 people. The Single Exponential Smoothing method can predict the number of students in the next period.
