Implementation of an Artificial Neural Network Based on the Backpropagation Algorithm in Forecasting the Closing Price of the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG)

Abstract

Investing is highly common in Indonesia. Continuous investment activities carried out by the community will increase economic activity and employment opportunities, increase national income, and increase the level of prosperity of the community. In carrying out share buying and selling transactions, there is a means for companies to obtain funds from official financiers or investors, which is called the capital market. One of the indices issued by the IDX is the Jakarta Composite Index (IHSG). Statistics can be used to help investors, the government, or related institutions to predict the value of the IHSG. One method that can be used to predict data is an Artificial Neural Network (ANN). Backpropagation method is a multi-layer ANN method that works in a supervised learning. The idea of the Backpropagation algorithm is that the input of the neural network is evaluated against the desired output results. The purpose of this research is to give forecasting values with high accuracy to describe the movement of IHSG close price values using the ANN method based on the Backpropagation algorithm. The research showed that the BP (4,6,1) model produced an RMSE value of 28,24024 and a MAPE value of 0.00342%. Based on the results of this research, an Artificial Neural Network model based on the Backpropagation Algorithm can be applied to predict the IHSG Closing Price value.
