any social studies analyze attitude responses using the linear regression model. This model typically treats questionnaire data as continuous scales, although the data is merely ordinal. One type of regression model that is more appropriate to analyze rank-order responses is the Ordinal Logistic Regression (OLR) model. In addition to the use of regression, the Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model has recently been applied in various studies. This paper delivered comparative descriptions of both the ANN and OLR models. The theoretical features and properties, which include parameters, variable selection, and model evaluation, followed by comparisons of the disadvantages and advantages of both models were analytically reviewed.

This research aims to perform preferences analysis of engineering students on choosing learning media using Support Vector Machine (SVM) model. Data is collected using questionnaire. The questionnaire consists of four items related to students profile and 17 items related to students preferences on learning media. Respondents are students in Faculty of Engineering. The total number of usable respons are 1,911. Data were analyzed using Support Vector Machine Model and resulted in the accuracy of 98.48%. The results show that factors behind learning media choice and the using pattern of e-book as learning media are the most influence variables that affect engineering students preferences on choosing learning media.
