Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the back-propagation model by optimizing the parameters for the predic tion of broiler chicken populations by provinces in Indonesia. Parameter optimization is changing the learning rate
(lr) of the backpropagation prediction model. Data sourced from the Directorate General of Animal Husbandry and
Animal Health processed by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). Data is the population of Broiler Chickens from
2017 to 2019 (34 records). The analysis process uses the help of RapidMiner software. Data is divided into 2 parts,
namely training data (2017-2018) and testing data (2018-2019). The backpropagation model used is 1-2-1; 1-25-1
and 1-45-1 with a learning rate (0.1; 0.01; 0.001; 0.2; 0.02; 0.002; 0.3; 0.03; 0.003). From the three models tested,
the 1-45-1 model (lr = 0.3) is the best model with Root Mean Squared Error = 0.028 in the training data. With this
model, the prediction results obtained with an accuracy value of 91% and Root Mean Squared Error = 0.00555 in the
testing data
