Abstract

Various data analysis methods can make thermal comfort prediction models. One method that is often used is multiple linear regression statistical analysis. Regression analysis needs to be checked for accuracy with other analytical methods. This study compares the making of a thermal comfort prediction model with regression analysis and naïve Bayes analysis. The research method used quantitative methods for data collection regarding thermal comfort. The thermal comfort variable, consisting of eight independent variables and one dependent variable, was measured at Wonosobo High School, Indonesia. The analysis to make the prediction model was carried out with two different analyses: multiple linear regression analysis and naïve Bayes analysis. The results show that naïve Bayes is more accurate than multiple linear regression analysis.
