A study has been achieved by Jean-Michel Poggi, François-Xavier Jollois (Université Paris-Descartes) and Bruno Portier (INSA de Rouen), in the context of a collaboration between AirNormand, Paris Descartes University and INSA of Rouen. They analyzed and forecasted PM10 pollution in Rouen area on six different monitoring sites to quantify the effects of variables of different types, mainly meteorological versus other pollutant measurements. Some recent non parametric statistical methods (random forests, mixture of linear models and nonlinear additive models) have been used and beyond the application, this study shed light on those methods.
