A comparative analysis of modelling approaches for unemployment prediction in recent university graduates in Malaysia / Haziq Emieril Sharill

This thesis explores three distinct mathematical modelling approaches—Malthusian growth, Monte Carlo simulation, and Runge-Kutta Fourth (RK4) method to predict and analyse the unemployment rates of recent university graduates over a span of ten years. The accuracy of each method is determined by the...

description This thesis explores three distinct mathematical modelling approaches—Malthusian growth, Monte Carlo simulation, and Runge-Kutta Fourth (RK4) method to predict and analyse the unemployment rates of recent university graduates over a span of ten years. The accuracy of each method is determined by the different model characteristics.

Interpolation allows the predictability of each method to be observed and compared to actual data collected, providing evidence for each method's precision in modelling unemployed fresh graduates in Malaysia. The comparative analysis involves evaluating the Root Mean Square Deviation (RMSD) for each method, providing insights into the accuracy and reliability of the predictions.
