Abstract

Determining the tuition fee group (UKT) for new students in Indonesian public universities represents a complex challenge requiring an equitable, data-driven approach. This study introduces an integrative feature selection strategy that combines five popular techniques Chi-Square, Recursive Feature Elimination (RFE), LASSO Regression, Random Forest Importance, and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) to extract the most relevant attributes from 53 socioeconomic variables of prospective students at Universitas Negeri Surabaya. As a novelty, the study identifies intersecting features consistently selected by all five methods and evaluates their impact on the performance of five classification algorithms: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Decision Tree, Random Forest, K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN), and Naïve Bayes. Experimental results demonstrate a significant improvement in accuracy, with SVM increasing from 0.7550 to 0.7810. These findings confirm that integrative feature selection can optimize model performance while reducing data complexity. This study provides a replicable methodological contribution for developing transparent and adaptive classification systems based on socioeconomic data in higher education contexts.

Abstract

This study introduces a two-stage predictive model integrating Recency, Frequency, Monetary (RFM) metrics with macroeconomic indicators to estimate Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) in direct sales, addressing dynamic customer behavior in volatile markets. Data from the Halalmart Sales Integrated System (January 2023–July 2025, 29,893 transactions, ~431 unique customers monthly) were combined with Indonesian macroeconomic indicators (Consumer Confidence Index, Consumer Expectation Index) from Bank Indonesia and inflation data from the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS). The first stage uses CatBoost classification, achieving 89.3% accuracy to identify active customers, followed by an ensemble regression (CatBoost, XGBoost, LightGBM, Ridge, RandomForest), yielding an R2 of 0.894 for CLV prediction. RFM features contribute 40.3% to classification and 16.2% to regression variance, while macroeconomic interactions dominate, contributing 59.7% and 83.8%, respectively. A key interaction, Monetary and Consumer Confidence Index, shows a 0.773 correlation with CLV. SHAP analysis enhances model interpretability. Despite a skewed dataset with approximately 65% zero CLV, the model supports targeted marketing strategies, offering valuable insights for strategic decision-making in direct sales environments
