PEMODELAN REGRESI NONPARAMETRIK DENGAN ESTIMATOR SPLINE POLYNOMIAL TRUNCATED PADA DATA JUMLAH WISATAWAN NUSANTARA

The nonparametric regression approach is a statistical method used to determine the relationship between predictor variables and the dependent variable when the assumed pattern is unknown. Truncated spline is an estimator used in nonparametric regression to handle data with varying behaviors. Nonparametric regression modeling with truncated polynomial spline was applied to local Indonesian tourist visitation data obtained from BPS for the years 2017-2019, for each month. The optimal knot points were selected based on the smallest Gross Cross Validation values. Based on the analysis, the optimal model is a second-order spline with the smallest Gross Cross Validation value of 17,95 and the optimal knot points are in the 2nd, 6th, and 7th months. The goodness of the model is evident from an  value of 81,88% and an MSE of 12,46. The best model obtained shows a fairly accurate ability to explain the estimated number of domestic tourists so that it can be a basis for stakeholders to make key decisions in planning and managing the tourism industry as an effort to increase domestic tourism interest.
