Pesantren requires some new qualified students through selection process for deciding academic and behavioural fairness. In this context, it is reasonable to utilize an application of a Decision Support System (DSS) to accelerate the student admission mechanisms since the existing process is unable to serve as reliable and objective procedures. The aim of this study is to design a specific computerized application that can be used to capture data of some potential students and recording relevant data for pesantren. Using a structured approach for the system design method, selection-based value is analysed by a Multi Attribute Utility Theory. The study is resulting a capable DSS application to identify students who have proper criteria and build a measurable data documentation.

Most research about the inflow and outflow currency in Indonesia showed that these data contained both linear and nonlinear patterns with calendar variation effect. The goal of this research is to propose a hybrid model by combining ARIMAX and Deep Neural Network (DNN), known as hybrid ARIMAX-DNN, for improving the forecast accuracy in the currency prediction in East Java, Indonesia. ARIMAX is class of classical time series models that could accurately handle linear pattern and calendar variation effect. Whereas, DNN is known as a machine learning method that powerful to tackle a nonlinear pattern. Data about 32 denominations of inflow and outflow currency in East Java are used as case studies. The best model was selected based on the smallest value of RMSE and sMAPE at the testing dataset. The results showed that the hybrid ARIMAX-DNN model improved the forecast accuracy and outperformed the individual models, both ARIMAX and DNN, at 26 denominations of inflow and outflow currency. Hence, it can be concluded that hybrid classical time series and machine learning methods tend to yield more accurate forecasts than individual models, both classical time series and machine learning methods.

Intermittent dataset is a unique data that will be challenging to forecast. Because the data is containing a lot of zeros. The kind of intermittent data can be sales data and rainfall data. Because both sometimes no data recorded in a certain period. In this research, the model is created to overcome the problem. The approach that is used in this research is the ensemble method. Mostly the intermittent data comes from the Negative Binomial because the variance is over the mean. We use two datasets, which are rainfall and sales data. So, our approach is creating the base model from the time series regression with Negative Binomial based, and then we augmented the base model with a tree-based model which is random forest. Furthermore, we compare the result with the benchmark method which is The Croston method and Single Exponential Smoothing (SES). As the result, our approach can overcome the benchmark based on metric value by 1.79 and 7.18.
