| Description | The statistical analysis of the observation of dust aerosol PM10 from four monitoring stations of the agglomeration of the city of Brno during a time period from January 1, 1998 until December 30, 2005 is presented. The main meteorological factors affecting air pollution at each station were identified by means of generalized autoregressive linear model with gamma distribution of response variable and log-link function. Along with meteorological factors, the influence of heating season and weekdays on the air pollution was considered. The suggested model can be used for a prediction of the value of dust aerosol PM10 at given station using selected factors and their previous values. |
