Predictive modelling of nitrogen dioxide using soft computing techniques in the Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the air pollutants which aggravates the human health as well as causes environmental issues. It is more causes respiratory problems due to acid rains. Agra is a major tourist destination spot in India also similarly air pollution also increased growing urbanization a...

Predictive modelling of nitrogen dioxide using soft computing techniques in the Agra, Uttar Pradesh, India
description Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is one of the air pollutants which aggravates the human health as well as causes environmental issues. It is more causes respiratory problems due to acid rains. Agra is a major tourist destination spot in India also similarly air pollution also increased growing urbanization and traffic reflux. The current study aims to predicted the NO2 episodes in the Agra city using soft computing models namely, M5P, Random Forest (RF), Group method of data handling (GMDH), Multivariate adaptive regression (MARS), Reduced error pruning tree (REP Tree) and Random tree (RT). The models were generated using 1116 observations, from 2015 to 2020 with input parameters such as Particulate matter (PM2.5), Nitrogen monoxide (NO), Oxides of nitrogen (NOX), Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Carbon monoxide (CO), Ozone (O), Benzene (Be), Toluene, Relative humidity (RH), Wind speed (WS), Wind direction (WD), Solar radiation (SR), Barometric pressure (BP) and Xylene. The performance of each model was evaluated based on the six statistical indices, namely correlation coefficient (CC), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), normalized root of mean squared relative error (NRMSE), Willmott's Index (WI), and Legates and McCabe's Index (LMI).
