Abstract

NTP forecasting is crucial for supporting appropriate policy-making. Therefore, this study aims to address the problem of selecting the most accurate forecasting method for predicting the Farmers’ Terms of Trade Index (FTTI). Specifically, the objective is to compare the accuracy of two time series forecasting methods, namely Decomposition and Single Exponential Smoothing (SES), in forecasting the price index received by food crop farmers for the period 2020 to 2024. Both methods were evaluated using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) as a measure of forecasting accuracy. The results show that the Decomposition method provides better forecasting accuracy, as indicated by lower RMSE values (RMSE = 1.846) than the SES method, both with α = 0.1 (RMSE = 7.37) and α = 0.6 (RMSE = 3.23). This finding suggests that the Decomposition method is better at capturing seasonal patterns and trends in the FTTI data than the SES method, which tends to produce larger errors.

Abstract

The price of Indonesian crude oil is highly volatile due to global demand fluctuations, energy policies, and geopolitical tensions, making accurate forecasting challenging. This study compares three forecasting models: ARIMA, Random Forest, and Hybrid ARIMA--Random Forest, to identify the most accurate approach. Model performance was evaluated using Time-Series Cross-Validation (TSCV) and metrics including Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE), Mean Absolute Error (MAE), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). The results indicate that the Random Forest model, tuned with \texttt{mtry = 1} and \texttt{ntree = 200}, outperformed both ARIMA and Hybrid ARIMA--Random Forest, achieving the lowest MAPE, MAE, and RMSE values. This suggests that Indonesian crude oil prices during the study period are predominantly non-linear, and Random Forest alone effectively captures these dynamics. Forecasts based on this model indicate a short-term increase in prices from 61.10 USD/Barrel in December 2025 to 64.29 USD/Barrel in March 2026, followed by a slight decline and modest recovery by June 2026. Overall, Random Forest provides a reliable and accurate tool for forecasting Indonesian crude oil prices, offering valuable insights for policymakers, investors, and market participants navigating volatile oil markets.
