The nonparametric regression analysis is a regression model used to determine the relationship between response variable and independent variables with unknown regression curve shapes. In the nonparametric approach, one of the frequently used estimators is the spline truncated. Spline truncated model is a segmented polynomial truncation model. The advantage of this model is that it is flexible because it has knot points that can show changes in data patterns. The unemployment rate in South Sulawesi Province in 2021 reached 5.72% and became the province with the second highest unemployment rate on Sulawesi Island. Therefore, spline truncated nonparametric regression modelling will be carried out in the case of unemployment rate with each of the factors that are thought to be influential because the regression curve is found not to form a certain pattern. Based on the analysis results, the best truncated spline nonparametric regression model was obtained using three knot points and obtained the minimum GCV value of 0.38 with a coefficient of determination (R2) value of 89%. Factors that have a significant effect on the unemployment rate in South Sulawesi are mean years of schooling (x1) and labour force participation rate (x2).
