Resilient Algorithm in Predicting Fertilizer Imports by Major Countries

Abstract

In the last five years (2013-2017) Indonesia's fertilizer production experienced volatile growth, but overall tended to increase at a rate of 1.7% per year. The research aims to optimize artificial neural networks with a resilient backpropagation algorithm (Rprop), artificial neural networks are one of the artificial representations of the human brain that always tries to simulate the learning process in the human brain. Sample data used for optimization is fertilizer import data according to the main country of origin and uses 4 architectures, the best results are obtained between architectures 6-8-1, 6-12-1, 6-16-1, and 6-32-1 is architecture 6-32-1 with 100% accuracy.
