Comparison of ARIMAX and Feedforward Neural Network in Forecasting Cash Outflow Inflow at Bank Indonesia East Java']Java Region

Money management, which includes planning, expenditure (outflow), circulation to withdrawal (inflow) in Indonesia, is the duty and authority of the central bank, namely, Bank Indonesia. The amount of money going out and going in needs to be modeled and forecasted to estimate people's money needs in the next period. The effects of calendar variations often affect cash outflows and inflows. Therefore, the method used is ARIMAX with the effect of calendar variations. On the other hand, cash outflow and inflow data allow nonlinear patterns so that the forecasting method used is FFNN. The purpose of this study is to compare the best model between ARIMAX and FFNN in forecasting cash outflow and inflows in the East Java region. There are three Bank Indonesia Representative Offices that are the focus of the research, namely, in the City of Kediri, the City of Jember, and the City of Malang. Not all places can use the ARIMAX and FFNN methods because they adjust the actual data conditions. If the ARIMAX or FFNN criteria do not meet, the modeling continues with ARIMA/SARIMA/Time Series Regression. The criteria for selecting the best model are based on the MSE and RMSE values in the testing data. FFNN modeling is better than ARIMAX on cash inflow data for the city of Kediri and the city of Jember. As for the cash outflow of Jember, adjusts the actual data pattern. In general, the FFNN model is better than ARIMAX, provided that the data has a nonlinear pattern.
