Abstract:
Atmospheric particulate matter (PM) is one of the pollutants that may have a significant impact on human health. Data collected over seven years in a city of the north of Spain is analyzed using four different mathematical models: vector autoregressive moving-average (VARMA), autoregressive integrated moving-average (ARIMA), multilayer perceptron (MLP) neural networks and support vector machines (SVMs) with regression. Measured monthly average pollutants and PM10 (particles with a diameter less than 10μm) concentration are used as input to forecast the monthly averaged concentration of PM10 from one to seven months ahead. Simulations showed that the SVM model performs better than the other models when forecasting one month ahead and also for the following seven months.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.

Precipitation Processes
Variation of Atmospheric Pressure
Assuming the air temperature is constant at a given altitude and that the ideal gas law of thermodynamics describes the atmosphere to a good approximation, one can find the variation of atmospheric pressure with height.
Let p(y) be the atmospheric pressure at...
