Prediction of local particle pollution level based on artificial neural network
Citizens eager to know the local pollution level to prevent from air pollution. The real-time measurement for everywhere is a very expensive way, a statistical model based on artificial neural network is applied in this research. This model can estimate particle pollution level with some influencing factors, including background pollution level, weather conditions, urban morphology and local pollution sources. The monitoring from regulatory monitoring sites is considered as the background level. The field measurements of 20 locations are conducted to feed the output layer of ANN model. The average relative error of prediction compared with measurement is 9.24% for PM10 and 18.90% for PM2.5
Risk Minimization, Regret Minimization and Progressive Hedging Algorithms
This paper begins with a study on the dual representations of risk and regret
measures and their impact on modeling multistage decision making under
uncertainty. A relationship between risk envelopes and regret envelopes is
established by using the Lagrangian duality theory. Such a relationship opens a
door to a decomposition scheme, called progressive hedging, for solving
multistage risk minimization and regret minimization problems. In particular,
the classical progressive hedging algorithm is modified in order to handle a
new class of linkage constraints that arises from reformulations and other
applications of risk and regret minimization problems. Numerical results are
provided to show the efficiency of the progressive hedging algorithms.Comment: 21 pages, 2 figure
