Abstract


One of the most feared infectious diseases today is COVID-19. The transmission of this disease is quite fast. Patients also sometimes do not have the same symptoms. Overcoming the spread of the pandemic has been widely carried out throughout the world. Apart from the medical method, there are also many other methods, including computerization. Data mining is a discipline that can project data into new knowledge. One of the main functions of data mining is classification. Decision tree is one of the best models to solve classification problems. The number of data attributes can affect the performance of an algorithm. This study uses information gain to select the attribute features of the Covid-19 surveillance dataset. This study proves that there is an increase in the accuracy of the decision tree algorithm by adding information gain feature selection. Previously, the decision tree only had an accuracy rate of 65% for the classification of the Covid-19 surveillance dataset. After pre-processing using information gain, the accuracy rate increased to 75%.
