Abstract

Purpose: The per capita expenditure data in Jambi Province, Indonesia have been plagued with severe multicollinearity problems. To address the issue, this study developed an effective small area estimation (SAE) method, which is essential for formulating comprehensive regional development policies in Jambi Province. By modifying the mixed effects random forest (MERF) method, we introduced PCA-MERF (which applies principal component analysis prior to MERF) and MERoF (which replaces the standard random forest with rotation forest) to handle multicollinearity more effectively. Data from the National Socioeconomic Survey (Susenas) in March 2021 and Village Potential (PODES) in 2021 were utilized. The methods were evaluated using metrics such as root mean square error (RMSE), relative root mean square error (RRMSE), coefficient of variation (CV), and their ability to capture random area effects. The random effect block (REB) bootstrap approach was employed to obtain MSE estimates for evaluating area-level estimate quality. Result: The results showed that MERoF outperformed both MERF and PCA-MERF, particularly in unit-level (village) estimation. Additionally, MERoF demonstrated superior capability in capturing variation between subdistricts compared to MERF and PCA-MERF. PCA-MERF performed better than MERF and MERoF at the area level (subdistrict). All three methods showed acceptable performance with RRMSE and CV values ranging between 8% and 10%, indicating precise and reliable predictions for per capita expenditure in small areas. These modifications to MERF prove effective and advantageous for small-area estimation in datasets with significant multicollinearity. Novelty: This research introduces a novel semi-parametric, tree-based SAE approach, enhancing the precision of per capita expenditure estimates and supporting more informative regional policy decisions, thus filling a gap in current SAE methodologies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the dominant trends in color and composition within aesthetic photography on Instagram and explore their influence on user interaction, specifically likes and comments. Given the growing role of visual aesthetics in digital marketing, understanding these elements is crucial for content creators, brands, and businesses aiming to maximize engagement. Unlike previous studies that focus on general social media engagement, this research integrates technology-driven qualitative analysis using ATLAS.ti, enabling structured coding and thematic identification of visual elements. Methods: A qualitative content analysis was conducted on 591 Instagram posts tagged with #AestheticPhotography and #VisualAesthetic. Data was collected using Instagram scraping (PhantomBuster), extracting both visual (color palettes, composition techniques) and textual (captions, metadata) elements. The ATLAS.ti software was used to analyze recurring visual patterns and color extraction was performed via Google Colab and Python for accuracy. Result: The results show that natural colors (48.18%) and pastel tones (30.90%) are dominant in aesthetic photography, contributing to higher engagement due to their harmonious and calming effect. Composition techniques such as center alignment (40.51%) and the Rule of Thirds (23.27%) significantly correlate with user interaction, as they align with cognitive load theory and visual perception principles. Additionally, short captions (≤10 words) were more effective in enhancing engagement, receiving 8,876 likes and 4,432 comments on average, compared to longer captions. Novelty: This study bridges the gap between visual aesthetics and computational analysis, using ATLAS.ti to systematically examine social media trends. Unlike previous studies that focus solely on quantitative metrics, this research provides qualitative insights into how color and composition influence engagement. The findings offer practical guidance for content creators, designers, and marketers, suggesting that strong visual composition and color harmony can enhance audience engagement.

Abstract

Purpose: Stacking is one type of ensemble whose base-models use different algorithms. The classification results from its base-models are categorical and tend to be associated with each other. They then become input for the stacking meta-model. However, there are no currently definite rules for determining the classifier that becomes the meta-model in stacking. On the other hand, recent research has found that CATPCA-LR can work well on categorical predictor variables associated with each other. Therefore, this study focuses on the classification performance of the stacking algorithm with the CATPCA-LR meta-model. Methods: The study compared the classification performance stacking with CATPCA-LR meta-model to stacking with other meta-models (random forest, gradient boost, and logistic regression) and its base-models (random forest, gradient boost, extreme gradient boost, extra trees, light gradient boost). This research used food insecurity data from March 2022. Result: The stacking algorithm with the CATPCA-LR meta-model performs better insecurity data regarding sensitivity, balanced accuracy, F1-Score, and G-Means values. This model offers a sensitivity of 46.28%, a balanced accuracy of 59.82%, an F1-Score of 37.82%, and a G-Means of 58.26%. Meanwhile, regarding specificity values, the light gradient boost (LGB) algorithm gives the highest value compared to other algorithms. This model provides a specificity value of 88.40%. Generally, the stacking with the CATPCA-LR meta-model algorithm provides the best performance compared with other algorithms on food insecurity data. Novelty: This research has explored a stacking classification performance with CATPCA-LR as meta-model.
