Joint Modelling of Particulates: An Application to Urban Areas in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy
摘要
Modelling the concentration of air pollutants is a complex task because their dynamics can be simultaneously related to anthropogenic sources, the morphological conformation of the territory, and meteorological conditions. With the aim to explore the role of temporal and weather-related variables on the local variability and the dependence among urban areas, we consider a multivariate Gaussian additive model with dynamic covariance matrix. We illustrate our proposal by analysing daily concentration of \(\texttt {PM}_{10}\) in urban areas in the same region.
