Physical children growth is measured by using anthropometric measures i.e. weight, height and head circumference. The children around two years old grow rapidly, and than decrease slowly along with increasing of children age. It means that locally model approach is more appropriate to the data. Kernel smoothing is one of estimation methods in nonparametric regression. In this paper, we study about Kernel smoothing in multi-response nonparametric regression model and apply it for estimating children up to five years old growth. The model consists of three response variables i.e. weight, height and head circumference, and age as a predictor variable. For determining optimal bandwidth for each response variable, we use cross-validation method. Based on children data in Surabaya 2010, and the 50 th percentiles estimation of weight, height and head circumference versus age, we obtain the mean squared error value is 0.05583 and coefficient of determination is 99.99%. The estimation model of children growth curve based on multi-respon kernel smoothing shows fluctuation of the curve and gives mean squared error value tends to zero and coefficient of determination tends to one. These facts mean that the estimation has satisfied goodness of fit criterion.
A multiresponse multipredictor semiparametric regression (MMSR) model is a combination of parametric and nonparametric regressions models with more than one predictor and response variables where there is correlation between responses. Due to this correlation we need to construct a symmetric weight matrix. This is one of the things that distinguishes it from the classical method, which uses a parametric regression approach. In this study, we theoretically developed a method of determining a confidence interval for parameters in a MMSR model based on a truncated spline, and investigating asymptotic properties of estimator for parameters in a MMSR model, especially consistency and asymptotic normality. The weighted least squares method was used to estimate the MMSR model. Next, we applied a pivotal quantity method, a Cramer–Wold theorem, and a Slutsky theorem to determine the confidence interval, investigate consistency, and asymptotic normality properties of estimator for parameters in a MMSR model. The obtained results were that the estimated regression function is linear to observation. We also obtained a 100(1 − α)% confidence interval for parameters in the MMSR model, and the estimator for parameters in MMSR model was consistent and asymptotically normally distributed. In the future, these obtained results can be used as a theoretical basis in designing a standard toddlers growth chart to assess nutritional status.
Background: The introduction of Kartu Prakerja (Pre-employment Card) Programme, henceforth KPP, which was claimed to have launched in order to improve the quality of workforce, spurred controversy among members of the public. The discussion covered the amount of budget, the training materials and the operations brought out various reactions. Opinions could be largely divided into groups: the positive and the negative sentiments.Objective: This research aims to propose an automated sentiment analysis that focuses on KPP. The findings are expected to be useful in evaluating the services and facilities provided.Methods: In the sentiment analysis, Support Vector Machine (SVM) in text mining was used with Radial Basis Function (RBF) kernel. The data consisted of 500 tweets from July to October 2020, which were divided into two sets: 80% data for training and 20% data for testing with five-fold cross validation.Results: The results of descriptive analysis show that from the total 500 tweets, 60% were negative sentiments and 40% were positive sentiments. The classification in the testing data show that the average accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, negative sentiment prediction and positive sentiment prediction values were 85.20%; 91.68%; 75.75%; 85.03%; and 86.04%, respectively.Conclusion: The classification results show that SVM with RBF kernel performs well in the opinion classification. This method can be used to understand similar sentiment analysis in the future. In KPP case, the findings can inform the stakeholders to improve the programmes in the future.

One of the mango’s maturity aspects is the sweetness of the fruits. Mature Avomango has a high degree of sweetness, characterized by a high total soluble solids (TSS) content. Currently, many non-destructive tests are using Near Infra-Red (NIR) spectroscopy to find out the TSS content. NIR spectroscopy generates spectra data, which can be used as predictors to predict Avomangos sweetness level. This study aims to predict the level of Avomangos sweetness by using a multi-predictor local polynomial regression approach and compare it with multiple polynomial regression. In this study, we use 120 samples of Avomango divided into two parts, 100 as training data and 20 as testing data. The multi-predictor local polynomial regression has better performance with the value mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) is 8.554% that categorized as a highly accurate prediction for predicting Avomangos sweetness level.
