Abstract
Poverty is one of fundamental problems which become major concern of
Indonesia Government. World Poverty Commission said that unemployment is
one of the main causes of poverty. A lot of literatures state that there is a strong
correlation between unemployment and poverty, but to prove it empirically, was
not easy. rise in the stage when open unemployment rate is less than 3.87, and
will be declined when the open
unemployment rate moved between 3.87 and 4.24. But after the open
unemployment rate reached 4.24, the percentage of poverty re-patterned
quadratically but decreased slowly. So, for the case in Indonesia, unidirectional
relationship between poverty and unemployment in the region occurred only
partially, while some are actually spinning.
1. Introductions
Poverty is one of the fundamental issues which become major concern of
Indonesia government. It is inevitable that one of poverty cause is
unemployment. Unemployment indicator selection based on the fact that the
indicator is directly related to income levels. World Poverty Commission also
noted that unemployment is a major cause of poverty.
Theoretically, the poverty rate will move to follow the rate of
unemployment. In this case when the unemployment rate increase then the
special and very good statistical and visual interpretation because it has high
flexibility ([21], [13]). Besides, spline is able to handle data character / function
properties of smooth and fluctuate in the subsub- interval ([16], [13]). It has also
been shown by [4] which compares Kernel smoothing spline technique with the
data of gross national product of Turkey. Spline is a polynomial function form
which is defined in sub-sub-intervals (piecewise polynomial). Boundary points
of these intervals are called knots. The knot will connect the polynomials which
are defined on the subintervals in such a way to form a continuous function.
How many knots and where knots are located are some of problems in spline
using. Another problem is spline basis functions selection. There are several
bases functions of spline, including power cuts, cubic spline, and Bspline.
Spline estimator can be obtained by solving the penalized least square (PLS)
optimization or minimize the number of data matches (Goodness of fit) and the
size of curve smoothness. Spline estimator in nonparametric regression
developed by many researchers by taking the variation in the Goodness of fit
and size of curve smoothness. Kimeldorf and Wahba , Craven and Wahba [18]
and produces a natural spline estimator (the original). Spline estimator is
recommended for being use on smooth data. Cox and OSullivan obtain the Mtype spline estimators to deal with outliers in nonparametric regression. Oehlert
[30] provide a relaxing spline estimator and [29] gives the quantile spline
estimator. Budiantara, et. Al [8] gives a weighted spline estimator to deal with
inequality of variance (heteroskedastic) in nonparametric regression.
Spline in its development, it can not resolve the problem of inference such as
confidence intervals for regression curve. For that [44] provide a Bayesian
approach for the original spline estimator in Gaussian response data and [45]
also have to construct confidence intervals for the original spline model. Gu
[24]has developed the results obtained by [44] for non-Gaussian response data.

each region. It also needs to look at other actors related to the employment, i.e.
field of business where he worked,business status (formal / informal), and hours
worked per week. So for further research can use the Bayesian Multivariate
Spline approach.
