Abstract

Accurate sales prediction is a critical challenge in business decision-making, as factors such as data imbalance, outliers, and overfitting may compromise the reliability of predictive models. This study aims to develop a precise model for predicting card sales using the K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) algorithm and to offer recommendations for improving prediction quality by addressing issues related to data imbalance and overfitting. The KNN algorithm is applied to analyze a card sales dataset, with preprocessing steps that include detecting missing values, handling outliers, and converting the target attribute into a categorical format. The optimal value of k is identified using the elbow method to determine the model's best accuracy. Findings indicate that the KNN model with k = 1 achieves 100% accuracy, though it shows signs of overfitting, which may hinder its generalizability to new data. Handling outliers and transforming data contributed to improving the model's performance. However, to enhance robustness, further testing with different k values and the use of cross-validation are recommended. Moreover, balancing the dataset and incorporating external variables such as promotional activities or market trends could support more reliable future predictions.

Abstract

Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is a statistical approach widely used to analyze causal relationships between latent and observed variables. A key issue in SEM lies in selecting an appropriate parameter estimation method, as it strongly affects the accuracy and interpretation of results. Among the most common estimation techniques are Maximum Likelihood (ML) and Weighted Least Squares (WLS). This study aims to compare the performance of ML and WLS in estimating path coefficients within SEM analysis. Using simulated data generated with the simulateData() function from a predefined structural model, three scenarios are examined with sample sizes of 500 and 1000. Data transformation procedures are applied to ensure consistency before model testing. Each SEM model is then estimated using both ML and WLS, and the results are evaluated through Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) values obtained from 100 replications. Findings indicate that WLS generally outperforms ML in terms of model fit and stability. In the first scenario with a sample size of 500, WLS achieves a lower average RMSEA (0.0141) compared to ML (0.0172). With a sample size of 1000 in the second scenario, both methods produce similar RMSEA values (0.009 for WLS and 0.0096 for ML), though WLS demonstrates lower variability. In the third scenario, also with a sample size of 1000, WLS records an average RMSEA of 0.0074 versus 0.0092 for ML. Overall, the results suggest that WLS is more effective and reliable than ML in providing accurate parameter estimates across different data conditions and sample sizes.
