Air Quality prediction using Multinomial Logistic Regression

Abstract

Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a primary role in different applications like medicine, science, health, and finance. In the past five decades, the development and progress of technology have allowed artificial intelligence to take an essential role in human life. Air quality classification is an excellent example of this role. The use of AI in this domain allows humans to predict whether the air is polluted or not. In effect, monitoring air quality and providing periodic and direct statistics are essential requirements to ensure good air quality for individuals in the community. For this reason, a decision-making system is built to decide whether the air is clean or not. Based on this system's decision, necessary practices and measures are taken to improve air quality and ensure air sustainability. In this paper, the multinomial logistic regression technique is used to detect the air pollution level. The proposed method is applied to a real dataset that consists of 145  responses recorded from an air quality multi-sensor device containing chemical sensors. The used device was placed in New York City, USA, from 1/1/2021 to 7/1/2021 (one week) and is freely available for air quality sensors deployed in the field. The result shows the efficacity of this method in air pollution prediction.
