Penerapan Algoritma C4.5 Seleksi Penerima Beasiswa Bidikmisi Pada Kampus Stmik Agamua Wamena

Abstract

Bidikmisi Scholarship is a financial aid program aimed at economically disadvantaged students
with strong academic performance. The selection process for recipients of this scholarship often
faces challenges, particularly in determining the eligibility of candidates, which requires numerous
criteria and complex data analysis. This study aims to develop a scholarship selection system using
the C4.5 algorithm. It is expected that this algorithm can automate and expedite the selection
process with more transparent and objective results. The dataset used includes applicants for the
Bidikmisi scholarship from 2015 to 2020. The methods applied include oversampling and
undersampling techniques to address class imbalance in the data. Based on testing, this system
achieved an accuracy of 76%, with a precision of 76% and recall of 71%, indicating that the system
can be relied upon for the scholarship selection process at STMIK Agamua Wamena.
