Description
Summary:The issue of gender equality in Southeast Sulawesi still needs further attention, as indicated by the uneven value of the Gender Development Index (GDI) in each district/city in the region. Therefore, an in-depth analysis is needed to identify factors that affect the GDI. One method that can be used is semiparametric regression with the Nadaraya-Watson estimator, which allows modeling the relationship between variables with more flexibility. This study aims to build a semiparametric regression model to identify factors that contribute to HDI in Southeast Sulawesi Province. The results of the analysis showed that the optimal bandwidth values obtained were h1= 1.57, h2=0.49, h3=2.50 and h4=4.61. The resulting model has an R2 and MSE values of 99.8% and 0.14% respectively, indicating that the model has high accuracy in explaining the overall variation in GDI.
