<![CDATA[Abstract. Purpose: This research was conducted to create a classification model in the form of the most optimal decision tree. Optimal in this case is the combination of parameters used that will produce the highest accuracy compared to other parameter combinations. From this best model, it will be used to predict the nutritional status class for the new data.Methods/Study design/approach: The dataset used is from Nutritional Status Monitoring in 2017 in Riau Province, Indonesia. From the dataset, the Knowledge Discovery in Database (KDD) stages were carried out to build several classification models in the form of decision trees. The decision tree that has the highest accuracy will then be selected to predict the class for the new data. Predictions for new data (unclassified data) will be made in a web-based system.Result/Findings: Particle Swarm Optimization is used to find optimal parameters. Before PSO is used, there are 213 parameters in the dataset that can be used to do classification. However, using many such parameters is time-consuming. After PSO is used, the optimal parameters found are the combination of 4 parameters, which can produce the most optimal decision tree. The 4 chosen parameters are gender, age (in months), height, and the way to measure the height (either stand up or lie down). The most optimal decision tree has an accuracy of 94.49%. From the most optimal decision tree, a web-based system was built to predict the class for new data (unclassified data).Novelty/Originality/Value: Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is a method that can help to select the most optimal parameters, or in other words produce the highest classification accuracy. The combination of parameters selected has also been confirmed by the nutritionist. The prediction system has been declared feasible to be used by nutritionists through the User Acceptance Test (UAT).]]>
