Abstract

Wavelet Neural Network (WNN) is a method based on the combination of neural network and wavelet theories. The disadvantage of WNN is the lack of structured method to determine the optimum level of WNN factors, which are mostly set by trial and error. The factors affecting the performance of WNN are the level of MODWT decomposition, the wavelet family, the lag inputs, and the number of neurons in the hidden layer. This research presents the use of design of experiments for planning the possible combination of factor levels in order to get the best WNN. The number of tourist arrivals in Indonesia via Soekarno-Hatta airport in Jakarta and via Ngurah Rai airport in Bali is used as case study. The result shows that design of experiments is a practical approach to determine the best combination of WNN factor level. The best WNN for data in Soekarno-Hatta airport is WNN with level 4 of MODWT decomposition, Daubechies wavelet, and 1 neuron in the hidden layer. Whereas, the best WNN for data in Ngurah Rai airport is WNN with MODWT decomposition level 3 and using input proposed by Renaud, Starck, and Murtagh [11] and seasonal lag input addition.
