While the rest (100% - 79.00% = 21.00%) is influenced by other variables outside this regression equation or variables that are not examined in this study. It is known that the results of the autocorrelation test using the durbin-watson (D- W) test show that the D-W test value is 2.235. This value is above +2 which indicates that the results of the autocorrelation test using the durbin-watson (D-W) test have negative autocorrelation.
