Probabilistic Forcasting of Stock Prices Using a Hybrid ARIMA-Monte Carlo Simulation Approach
Get PDFAbstract: This study aims to conduct probabilistic forecasting of the Farmer Exchange Rate (NTP) in Indonesia during the period 2015-2024 using an experimental quantitative approach through three methods: ARIMA, Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS), and the ARIMA-Monte Carlo hybrid model. The ARIMA model is used to capture linear patterns in historical data, while the Monte Carlo method is used to simulate stochastic uncertainty based on probability distributions. Furthermore, a hybrid approach was developed to integrate the advantages of both methods to improve accuracy and probabilistic representation in forecasting. Model performance was evaluated using MSE and MAPE. The results show that the Monte Carlo method has the best performance with an MSE value of 0.9051 and a MAPE of 0.72%. Meanwhile, the ARIMA method produces an MSE of 5.6991 and a MAPE of 1.46%. The ARIMA-Monte Carlo hybrid model shows an MSE value of 6.3288 and a MAPE of 1.87%. These findings indicate that in the context of NTP data, the Monte Carlo stochastic approach is superior to the ARIMA method and hybrid model in terms of prediction accuracy. This study contributes to the development of probabilistic forecasting methods that are more suitable for supporting decision-making in the agricultural sector
The Evolution of Backpropagation Neural Network Algorithms in the Development of Intelligent Flood Detection Systems
Get PDFAbstract: Flooding is a hydrometeorological disaster with widespread social, economic, and environmental impacts, requiring an accurate and adaptive early detection and warning system. This study aims to identify, analyze, and synthesize the evolution of the Backpropagation Neural Network (BPNN) algorithm in the development of intelligent flood detection systems and provide direction for future research. The research method used is qualitative with a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach, using literature sources from DOAJ, Scopus, and Google Scholar with a publication range of 2015–2025. The results of the study show that BPNN has undergone a significant transformation, from a simple feedforward model to an intelligent component capable of processing more complex non-linear patterns. This development is marked by the integration of optimization algorithms (such as Genetic Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization), the application of adaptive optimizers, regularization techniques, and integration with deep learning models. The implementation of BPNN has also been expanded through the integration of hydrological and spatial data, including rainfall, river discharge, topography, and satellite imagery, as well as the support of IoT and big data technologies to build adaptive early warning systems. Challenges remain in terms of the risk of overfitting, high computational requirements, data quality limitations, and low model interpretability. These findings confirm that the evolution of BPNN in flood detection systems reflects a shift towards more complex, adaptive, and integrated models, while also opening up future research opportunities in the development of hybrid models, ensemble methods, and the application of cloud-based computing to support more accurate, robust, and responsive flood detection systems

Pemberdayaan masyarakat Desa Peron, Kecamatan Limbangan, Kabupaten Kendal berbasis optimalisasi IPTEK dan pengolahan pasca panen gula aren
Get PDFAbstrakGula aren merupakan suatu bentuk produk olahan sari nira yang tercipta dari hasil tanaman aren. Gula aren mengandung banyak nutrisi diantaranya seperti kalium, zat besi, serat, magnesium, antioksidan, fosfor dan sebagainya. Gula aren juga sangat aman dikonsumsi untuk penderita diabetes, karena kadar inulin memiliki indeks glikemik yang rendah sebesar 35. Salah satu kelompok masyarakat pengolahan gula aren di Provinsi Jawa Tengah adalah Kelompok Usaha Bersama (KUB) UMKM Sukses Bersama “Sukma” yang beralamatkan di Desa Peron, Kecamatan Limbangan, Kabupaten Kendal. Kendala yang masih dihadapi sekarang ini adalah terbatasnya alat-alat produksi pengolahan pasca panen, sehingga jual beli gula aren belum sampai pada produk olahan pangan. Tidak hanya keterbatasan secara sarana alat produksi fisik, melainkan kemampuan pengetahuan dan keterampilan mitra sasaran juga masih terbatas untuk meningkatkan nilai tambah dan nilai ekonomis produk gula aren. Metode pelaksanaan adalah sosialisasi, pelatihan, penerapan teknologi, pendampingan dan evaluasi serta keberlanjutan program. Beberapa Teknologi Tepat Guna (TTG) yang diserahkan pada mitra sasaran diantaranya meliputi mesin pengaduk, kompor, tungku penggorengan, oven dan sebagainya. Sementara olahan pasca panen gula aren adalah mengolahnya menjadi brownies alpukat, brownies crispy alpukat, sus ula alpukat dan wedang kaduga. Sementara itu, pendampingan pemasaran digital usaha dilakukan dengan turut serta melibatkan peran aktif para mahasiswa. Kata kunci: diversifikasi produk; gula aren; pasca panen; pemberdayaan masyarakat; teknologi tepat guna. AbstractPalm sugar is a processed product made from the sap of the sugar palm plant. Palm sugar contains many nutrients, including potassium, iron, fiber, magnesium, antioxidants, phosphorus, and so on. Palm sugar is also very safe for consumption by diabetics, because the inulin content has a low glycemic index of 35. One of the palm sugar processing community groups in Central Java Province is the Joint Business Group (KUB) of the UMKM Sukses Bersama "Sukma" located in Peron Village, Limbangan District, Kendal Regency. The current obstacle is the limited production tools for post-harvest processing, so that the sale of palm sugar has not yet reached processed food products. Not only are there limitations in physical production facilities, but the knowledge and skills of target partners are also still limited to increase the added value and economic value of palm sugar products. The implementation method is socialization, training, technology application, mentoring and evaluation as well as program sustainability. Some Appropriate Technologies (TTG) handed over to target partners include stirring machines, stoves, frying pans, ovens and so on. Meanwhile, post-harvest palm sugar processing includes avocado brownies, crispy avocado brownies, avocado milk and kaduga drink. Digital marketing assistance for the business is provided with the active involvement of students.
