Evaluasi Kinerja Model Long Short-Term Memory dan Gated Recurrent Unit untuk Prediksi Magnitude Gempa Bumi Di Indonesia

This study aims to evaluate and compare the performance of two neural network architectures under the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) category, namely Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), in predicting earthquake magnitude in Indonesia. The dataset used consists of daily earthquake magnitude records from 2008 to 2023, preprocessed into time series format and normalized using the MinMax method. The training process was conducted using various combinations of batch size and epoch, and evaluated using Mean Absolute Error (MAE), Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and relative prediction accuracy. The evaluation results show that LSTM with a batch size of 32 and 50 epochs provides the best prediction performance, achieving a MAE of 0.2227 and 93.65% accuracy. Meanwhile, GRU performed optimally at a batch size of 64 and 50 epochs, with a MAE of 0.2229 and 93.66% accuracy. The prediction visualization shows that LSTM offers greater stability and precision in tracking actual data patterns. These findings indicate that LSTM holds stronger potential for supporting earthquake prediction systems based on time series data.
