SIMULATION TECHNIQUE IN DETERMINING STUDENT ATTENDANCE USING THE MONTE CARLO METHOD

In lectures, attendance is one of the assessment points that plays an important role in determining a student's graduation. The attendance prediction simulation is an estimate of the calculation of student attendance in lectures. This type of research is quantitative research using data collection techniques by means of observation and documentation study. In the process of analysis, the observed data were attendance data of 5th semester computer engineering study program students and a sample of 40 people as research subjects. The stages of the monte carlo simulation are used: Determining variable frequency; Calculating cumulative probabilities; Determine random number intervals; Create a simulation to determine student attendance; Generate random numbers; Make a simulation of the experimental circuit. Based on a series of experimental data that has been The simulation results obtained predicted attendance and absence of computer engineering study program students at the STMIK Agamua Wamena campus from November 7 to December 19, 2022 with an average attendance of above 50%. Keywords— Attendance, Simulation, Monte carlo, Prediction
