The prediction analysis process uses the best feature selectionand ensemble learning. The best feature selection is selected using feature importance to XGBoost with a weight value filter of 10. The ensemblelearning method used is stacking. Stacking is composed of the base modeland meta learner. The base model consists of K-nearest neighbor, decisiontree, support vector machines (SVM), and random forest, while the metalearner used is LightGBM. The stacking model accuracy results can outperform the base model accuracy with an accuracy rate of 97%.
