The Comparison of C4.5 and C5.0 Algorithms in Classifying the Nutritional Status of Stunted Toddlers

Abstract

Stunting is one of the health conditions that reflect aspects of nutrition and child growth, allowing us to observe the nutritional status of toddlers. The aim of this study is to determine the classification results of the C4.5 and C5.0 algorithms in cases of stunted toddler nutritional status and to compare the results between the C4.5 and C5.0 algorithms in classifying stunted toddler nutritional status using k-fold cross-validation. The data in this study are secondary data. Which is collected from Puskesmas IV Pesisir Selatan Regency. The research variables are divided into two, namely the response variable Y, which is Toddler Nutritional Status, and predictor variables X including Age, Toddler Gender, Toddler Weight, and Toddler Height. The result of the study obtain the algorithm C5.0 produse accuracy value of the C5.0 algorithm is higher than that of the C4.5 algorithm. The C5.0 algorithm provides an average accuracy result of 83% while the C4.5 algorithm provides an accuracy result of 79%. Thus, it can be concluded that the C5.0 algorithm is better at classifying stunted toddler nutritional status.
