Abstract
This research aims to analyse the accuracy of the linear regression method in predicting the amount of vitamin A needed and providing information about predicting vitamin A needs within a specific period. Vitamin A is identified as the most crucial nutrient, necessitating external supplementation due to insufficient and low food consumption. The linear regression method is employed in this study, serving as a data analysis technique to predict unknown data values based on related and known data values. The dataset involves the number of vitamin A administrations in each district/city in West Java, Indonesia. Mean absolute perception error (MAPE) was utilized to assess prediction errors. The system requirements analysis used an object-oriented approach with Unified Modeming Language (UML) tools. The comprehensive prediction results yield an average accuracy of 86%, indicating that the linear regression method effectively predicts vitamin A needs in the subsequent period. Functional testing of the system demonstrates a 100% success rate, aligned with the needs analysis, thereby providing information on predicting vitamin A requirements within a specific period for each district/city in West Java. © 2024 Taylor’s University.
