Judul: A Comparative Study of Beta-Binomial Regression and Williams Methods and their Application to Infant Mortality Data in West Java
Abstrak: Regresi logistik Binom dapat digunakan untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor yang mampu menjelaskan tingkat kematian bayi. Namun, jika data mengandung overdispersi, regresi logistik Binom sudah tidak relevan lagi untuk digunakan. Overdispersi seringkali terjadi pada data biner, seperti pada data kematian bayi. Untuk menangani masalah overdispersi, regresi Beta-Binom dan metode Williams akan dibahas pada penelitian ini. Nilai dugaan parameter yang dihasilkan dengan menggunakan ketiga metode ini tidak berbeda secara signifikan, tetapi nilai galat baku dugaan parameter yang dihasilkan oleh metode regresi logistik Binom cenderung berbias kebawah (underestimate). Hasil simulasi menunjukkan bahwa metode Williams menghasilkan penduga yang lebih baik, ditinjau dari nilai bias dan ragam penduga parameternya dibandingkan dengan regresi Beta-Binom. Selanjutnya, untuk mengindetifikasi faktor-faktor yang mampu menjelaskan tingkat kematian bayi di Jawa Barat perlu diterapkan metode Williams dan regresi Beta-Binom terhadap data kematian bayi di Jawa Barat tahun 2012. Faktor-faktor yang mampu menjelaskan kematian bayi di Jawa Barat yaitu kekayaan rumah tangga, usia ibu, pendidikan ibu dan tempat tinggal.

Judul: Model Regresi Binomial Negatif Terboboti Geografis untuk Data Kematian Bayi (Studi Kasus 38 Kabupaten/Kota di Jawa Timur)
Abstrak: Negative binomial regression model is used to overcome the overdispersion in Poisson regression model. This model can be used to model the relationship of the infant mortality and the factors incidence. Geographical conditions, socio cultural and economic differ one of location another location causes the factors that influence infant mortality is different locally. Geographically Weighted Negative Binomial Regression (GWNBR) is one of methods for modeling that count data have spatial heterogeneity and overdispersion. The basic idea of this model considers of geography or location as the weight in parameter estimation. The parameter estimator is obtained from Iteratively Newton Raphson method. This research will determine the factors that influence infant mortality. GWNBR model with a weighting adaptive bi-square kernel function classifies regency/city in East Java into 16 groups based on the factors that significantly influence the number of infant mortality. This model is better used to analyze the number of infant mortality in East Java in 2008 due to a smallest deviance value.

Judul: Elektrodeposisi Film Tipis Semikonduktor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) pada Substrat Kaca ITO
Abstrak: Semiconductor Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) thin film that can be used as absorber layers on solar cell module was made via electrodeposition method. CZTS thin film was electrodeposited on the surface of a silicate glass coated with a thin layer of indium tin oxide (ITO). Deposition process was done using potentiostatic mode at room temperature with a potential of 1.05 V for 30, 45, and 60 minutes, followed with annealing the film at 2 different temperatures, 500 ºC using furnace and 180 ºC using hot plate, both treatments for 45 minutes in N2/H2S atmosphere. The X-ray difractograms were analyzed using Match 2 program and showed that the CZTS thin films had kesterit crystalline structure, with a low percentage of CZTS phase. The thin film also contained secondary phases such as Cu2S, ZnS, and SnS. The obtained CZTS thin films had a thickness between 1.039 and 1.676 μm. Absorption study showed that the band gap energy of CZTS thin films which was annealed using furnace ranged from 1.50 to 1.52 eV, whereas that annealed using the hot plate was not observed. The band gap energy value showed that CZTS thin films can be used as sunlight absorber layers on solar cell. The formation of CZTS crystal film on this investigation was effectively performed using furnace annealing process at a temperature of 500 ºC with deposition time of 45 minutes.
