COMPARISON OF SINGLE MOVING AVERAGE AND WINTER EXPONENTIAL SMOOTHING METHODS IN PREDICTING THE NUMBER OF DIVORCE CASES AT THE RELIGIOUS COURT OF CIBINONG.

Based on data from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the divorce rate in Indonesia shows a tendency to increase from year to year. Similar conditions were experienced by Cibinong district. The forecasting method that will be used in this study is the Single Moving Average and Winter's Exponential Smoothing. The results of forecasting the number of lawsuits in 2023 from July to December with movements with two obtained forecasts in July were 602, August 283, MAD value = 67.29, MSE value = 8.722, MAPE = 11.61, RMSE = 1.46, Accuracy value of 88.39%. Movements with four forecasting periods in July were 620, August 448, September 301, October 141. MAD value = 99.33, MSE value = 14,722, MAPE = 16.59, RMSE = 1.90, Accuracy value of 83.41%. Forecasting with the Winters Exponential Smoothing Method with Alpha: 0.1, Beta: 0.3 and Gamma: 0.5, the forecast results obtained in July were 504.10026, August 491.61306, September 663.18788, October 745.41004, November 732.42766 and December 732.10904. MAE value is 171.65116, MSE value is 686.63361, MAD value is 38.74, MSE value is 2.797 MAPE value is 6.0 and RMSE value is 0.83 and accuracy value is 94.00%. Based on the calculation results above, it is concluded that forecasting the number of divorce filings at Cibinong Religious Court from January 2018 to December 2023 with the Winter Exponential Smoothing method has MAD, MSE, MAPE, RMSE values smaller than values in the Single Moving Average method. Winter Exponential Smoothing method is more appropriate with an accuracy value of 94.00%. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
