PENERAPAN ANALISIS LASSO DAN GROUP LASSO DALAM MENGIDENTIFIKASI FAKTOR-FAKTOR YANG BERHUBUNGAN DENGAN TUBERKULOSIS DI JAWA BARAT

Tuberculosis is the deadliest infectious disease in Indonesia, and West Java is a province with the largest number of tuberculosis cases in Indonesia. This research was conducted to identify variables and groups of variables that could explain the number of tuberculosis cases in West Java. The data used has many explanatory variables, and these variables form groups. LASSO and group LASSO analysis can be used for variables selection and handle data that has many explanatory variables, and group LASSO analysis can be used on data with grouped variables. The results of the LASSO analysis, variables that can explain the number of tuberculosis cases in West Java are the number of people with disabilities, the number of pharmacy staff, the number of malnourished people, the number of people working and the number of cities. According to the group LASSO analysis, the variables that can explain the number of tuberculosis cases in West Java are variables in the health and environmental groups.

Sensation Seeking

Sensation seeking is a biologically based personality trait that is characterized by the need to seek a variety of sensations and experiences and the willingness to take risks to achieve them. There is a large volume of literature on sensation seeking that delineates important conceptual and operational distinctions, including several prominent measures of sensation seeking. Issues related to research design and data analysis include whether researchers treat sensation seeking as an independent or dependent variable, use total scale versus subscale scores in analyses, treat scores as continuous or grouped variables, and consider demographic variables in their analyses. Research may relate sensation seeking to a range of behaviors, from maladaptive behaviors such as substance use and risky sex to more neutral or even adaptive behaviors such as preferences for music and art or preferences for certain careers. Research may establish a genetic basis for sensation seeking and/or associate sensation seeking with neurological and physiological responsiveness. Research also explores the associations of sensation seeking to perceptions of risk, as well as the sex and age of individuals and groups in an international context.
