Air quality prediction based on residual Gaussian variational autoencoder
To enhance the accuracy of multivariate air pollution prediction,a Residual Gaussian-mixture Nested Factorial Variational Autoencoder(RNF-VAE)model was proposed.The model was evaluated using air pollution data from six monitoring stations in Huainan,Anhui,with performance assessed through three statistical metrics.The methodology involved constructing the RNF-VAE to handle multivariate air pollution data and comparing its performance with mainstream models,including Long Short-Term Memory(LSTM),Gated Recurrent Unit(GRU),Bidirectional LSTM(BiLSTM),and Bidirectional GRU(BiGRU).Results demonstrated that the RNF-VAE performed excellently in predicting six pollutants,achieving 35.12%reduction in RMSE,29.12%decrease in MAE,and 11.17%increase in R2.These findings indicated that the RNF-VAE provided higher accuracy and reliability in air pollution prediction,effectively addressing the complexity and data uncertainty in multivariate air pollution,thus offering valuable insights for policy formulation and environmental management.
