RT journal article T1 Forecasting PM10 in the Bay of Algeciras Based on Regression Models A1 Palomares Salas, José Carlos A1 González de la Rosa, Juan José A1 Agüera Pérez, Agustín A1 Sierra Fernández, José María A1 Florencias Oliveros, Olivia A2 Ingeniería de Sistemas y AutomáticaTecnología Electrónica y Electrónica K1 time-series forecasting K1 regression models K1 artificial neural networks K1 on-site measurements K1 exogenous information AB Different forecasting methodologies, classified into parametric and nonparametric, werestudied in order to predict the average concentration of PM10 over the course of 24 h. The comparisonof the forecasting models was based on four quality indexes (Pearson’s correlation coefficient,the index of agreement, the mean absolute error, and the root mean squared error). The proposedexperimental procedure was put into practice in three urban centers belonging to the Bay of Algeciras(Andalusia, Spain). The prediction results obtained with the proposed models exceed those obtainedwith the reference models through the introduction of low-quality measurements as exogenousinformation. This proves that it is possible to improve performance by using additional informationfrom the existing nonlinear relationships between the concentration of the pollutants and themeteorological variables.
