A Multi-layer Perceptron Neural Network to Predict Air Quality through Indicators of Life Quality and Welfare
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper considers the similarity between two measures of air pollution/quality control, on the one hand, and widely used indicators of life quality and welfare, on the other. We have developed a multi-layer perceptron neural network system which is trained to predict the measurements of air quality (emissions of sulphur and nitrogen oxides), using Eurostat data for 34 countries. We used life expectancy, healthy life years, infant mortality, Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and GDP growth rate as a set of inputs. Results were dominated by GDP growth rate and GDP. Obtaining accurate estimates of air quality measures can help in deciding on distinct dimensions to be considered in multidimensional studies of welfare and quality of life.

PM10 AIR POLLUTION IN MASHAD CITY USING ARTIFICIAL NEURAL NETWORK AND MAKOV CHAIN MODEL
Suspended particles management is one of the important issues in controlling the air pollution of cities. These particles cause and develop heart and respiratory diseases in people. Mashhad is considered as one of the main and populous cities of Iran. Because of its climatic conditions and its tourism, the city is at the highest risk of this type of pollution. We attempted to use the multi-l...
متن کاملAn application of artificial neural network to maintenance management
This study shows the usefulness of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) in maintenance planning and man-agement. An ANN model based on the multi-layer perceptron having three hidden layers and four processing elements per layer was built to predict the expected downtime resulting from a breakdown or a maintenance activity. The model achieved an accuracy of over 70% in predicting the expected downtime.
