/AOD-vs-PM2.5-Prediction-Methods

A major challenge involving pollution detection is to measure the average PM2.5 concentration over major metropolitan areas. One useful method for predicting PM2.5 over a relatively wide range are AOD measurements. Ensemble algorithms are more effective than linear algorithms for prediction. Pandas and scikit-learn were used for data analysis.

Installation

Use the package manager pip to install scikit-learn before running.

pip3 install -U scikit-learn

Usage

On line 13 of aodvspm25.py, add the folder names with the requested geographic locations for AOD and PM2.5 data.

python3 aodvspm25.py
