Subject field(s)
  • Air Pollution
  • Meteorological Forecasting, Data Measurement and Analysis
  • Environmental Studies and Analyses
  • Collaboration with Health Canada
CONT

... air quality forecasting is used to predict the change trend in air quality in the future. Air quality forecasting is usually based on historical data and monitoring data, using statistical methods, numerical models, artificial intelligence algorithms, expert experience comprehensive judgment, etc., which can be divided into short-and medium-/long-term predictions.

OBS

air quality forecasting: designation standardized by Environment Canada and the Translation Bureau for use in the Air Pollutant Emission Inventory Report.

La prévision de la qualité de l'air est le processus visant à prévoir, avec une incertitude maîtrisée, la distribution spatiale des concentrations de divers polluants atmosphériques sur une échéance de quelques jours dans le futur.

OBS

prévision de la qualité de l'air : désignation normalisée par Environnement Canada et le Bureau de la traduction dans le cadre de l'Inventaire des émissions de polluants atmosphériques.

Subject field(s)
  • Statistics
CONT

HAPC [hierarchical age-period-cohort] modeling is an epidemiological method capable of decomposing prevalence rate into mutually independent age, period and cohort effects with individual-level data, while the estimated period and cohort effects provide an unbiased measure of historical trend controlling for the effects of age and other covariates.

Record 4 2000-06-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Statistical Methods
DEF

A modeling process by which variation in a time series are assumed to be explained wholly by the historical trends of the data itself. In essence, the ARIMA modeling process consists of the autoregressive and moving average processes of the Auto-Regressive Moving Average(ARMA) Model process on data that have been Differenced to render them Stationary. The process uses variations of differencing and transformations to describe historical patterns in the data. Like the simpler ARMA model, forecasts made by an ARIMA modeling process consist of only a mathematical process of projecting inherent characteristics of trend, cycles, and seasonality into the future and incorporate no economic relatinships. Consequently, such models are not appropriate for impact analysis or for incorporating random "shocks", but may prove an effective estimation process when the trends in the historical data are relatively stable and well-behaved.

OBS

The X-11 ARIMA process is used to detect and remove the seasonality from the original data.
