Abstract

Classification is a systematic grouping of objects into certain groups based on the same characteristics. The classification method used in this research are naive Bayes and K-Nearest Neighbor which has a relatively high degree of accuracy. This research aims to compare the level of classification accuracy on the status data of value-added tax (VAT) payment. The data used is data on corporate taxpayers at Samarinda Ulu Tax Office in 2018 with the status of VAT payment being compliant or non-compliant and used 3 independent variables are income, type of business entity and tax reported status. Measurement of accuracy using APER in the Naive Bayes method is 17.07% and in K-Nearest Neighbor method is 19,51%. The comparison results of accuracy measurements between the two methods show that the naive Bayes method has a higher level of accuracy than the K-Nearest Neighbor method

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
