IMPLEMENTATION OF BACKPROPAGATION AND HYBRID ARIMA-NN METHODS IN PREDICTING ACCURACY LEVELS OF RAINFALL IN MAKASSAR CITY by Hisyam Ihsan, Irwan Irwan, Andi Illa Erviani Nensi

“…The results showed that the Backpropagation method excelled with an RMSE value of 137.320 or 0.1149, indicating high accuracy in forecasting changes in seasonal trends and patterns. Hybrid ARIMA-NN gives good results with RMSE 145.834, as residues contain better nonlinearity compared to ARIMA models (4,0,1), although it shows a slightly higher error rate compared to Backpropagation.…”
