For that, it is necessary to create analysis that can process data into information. Data mining is a process for processing data into information using statistical techniques, AI, and machine learning. There are many methods in data mining. In this study using the k-means clustering and for testinguse Davies Bouldin Index. based on testing using the davies bouldin index (DBI) cluster 4 is the best cluster with a value of 0.671, where the lower the value, the better the cluster.
