INTRODUCTION
Poor nutrition is a condition
experienced by a person due to a lack of
nutritional intake or the number of
nutrients consumed below standard.
Nutrients needed include carbohydrates,
proteins, and calories. One of the most
important and common nutritional
problems experienced by infants under 5
years old (toddlers) is a lack of protein
energy. It is associated with the economic
level of society. In addition, parents lack
knowledge about the importance of
nutrition for children's growth and
development. The nutritional status of
toddlers can be determined through
laboratory examination or anthropometry.
Anthropometric measurements are
measurements used to determine a
person's nutritional state.
Puskesmas is a technical
implementation unit of the district/city
health office that is responsible for
organizing health development in a work
area. Puskesmas are required to improve
and provide health services as well as
possible. UPTD Puskesmas Tigarakasa is a
Puskesmas located in Tigaraksa District,
Tangerang Regency, which is located at Jl.
Kongsi No.12, Tigaraksa Village, Tigaraksa
District, Tangerang Regency, Banten
Province, Puskesmas work area. Tigaraksa
Health Center covers several villages,
namely Bantar Panjang, Cileles, Kadu
Agung, Margasari, Sodong, Tapos, and
Tigaraksa.
In this study, the goal to be achieved is
to improve the accuracy of results using
method comparison with the comparison
of Support Vector Machine and K-Nearest
Neighbors methods in classifying nutrition
in toddlers (Arsi & Waluyo, 2021). Proving
that using a comparison of the Support
Vector Machine and K-Nearest Neighbors
methods can increase the percentage of
accuracy so that it is more optimal in the
early detection of nutritional status in
toddlers quickly, precisely, and accurately
(Sugara & Subekti, 2019).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Nutritional Status of Toddlers
Nutritional Status is a measure of
success in fulfilling nutrition for children
indicated by the child's weight and height.
Nutritional status can be defined as the
health status produced by the balance
between nutritional needs and inputs. A
child can be said to be a toddler when he is
between 0 to 5 years old. Because the term
BALITA is an abbreviation of Infants Under
Five Years". The age of toddlers is the age of
growth, which is when a toddler must be
active and energetic in acting. Toddlers are
active and energetic in doing actions
because curiosity about something they
meet arises in their minds. The nutritional
status of toddlers can be classified as
follows: Poor Nutrition, Lack of Nutrition,
Good Nutrition, and More Nutrition (Hariri
&; Pamungkas, 2016).
Data Mining
Data mining is the process by which
statistical, mathematical, artificial
intelligence and machine learning
techniques are used to extract and identify
useful information and related knowledge
in large databases. Data mining is not an
entirely new field. One of the difficulties in
