1 Spatio-temporal modeling of fine particulate matter Sujit Sahu a University of Southampton Lisbon: March 2004 a Joint work with Alan Gelfand and David Holland
2 Fine particulate matter Particles with diameter less than 2.5 m, PM. PM has been linked to respiratory and cardiovascular problems. Contribute to other air-pollutants, stress to vegetation and ecosystems. In 1997, EPA gave new regulations and setup a network of monitoring sites.
3 PM formation PM can be emitted directly or formed in the atmosphere: road-dust, wood burning. It contains particles from gaseous emissions such as sulfates and nitrates. Power plant, automobile. PM concentration levels are affected by emissions, topography, land cover, and other factors, e.g. air movement.
4 Our data set Mid-western United states: Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Data on 114 sites in the year Data are 24-hr averages. Sampling frequencies are varied: daily, every three days, weekly etc. We work with weekly averages. Have 5928 (114 times 52) data points. Only 2% missing observations.

6 Objectives in modeling Investigate rural/urban differences Measure effect of population/density Produce weekly prediction surfaces Obtain annual predictions
7 Outline of the talk Exploratory analysis Methods Modeling details Prediction details Analysis Model choice Parameter estimates Prediction Discussion
8 Scale of Data Variance increases as mean increases. Model square root of data, but report predictions on original scale. Mean Variance Mean Variance Figure 1: Top: original; bottom: square root scale.
9 Rural/Urban separation cements PM Rural Suburban and urban 10 0 Site Figure 2: First 10 for rural; last 104 for suburban and urban.

11 Population density Have density for the year Can pop-density separate the means and vars? No! see below. mean variance low-pop high-pop

24 Ê l Analysis: Model Choice Define the predictive model choice criterion Ë Ë (PMCC): # Var T < G I 'M T ä yª S T < I PMCC = P(enalty) + G(oodness of fit) Find the optimal decay parameters. Assume { x # { x u # { x and { # { u # {. Search for { x among (0.015, 0.03, 0.06, 0.12 and 0.30). Search for { among (3, 1.5, 1, 0.75 and 0.6). Optimal { x # $lì$43 (range = 100 km = about 1/10th of the maximal distance). Optimal { # 74l (range = 2 weeks).
25 Analysis: Model comparison Compare the proposed model with the basic model which is not spatio-temporal. PMCC values: Model P G P + G Base model Our model There are other intermediate models. We are not interested in those.

27 Discussion Current work Proposed and fitted non-stationary spatio-temporal model. Positive shift in mean level for urban areas. Also larger variability in urban areas. Obtained both weekly and annual predictions. Future work Produce annual map for the entire US. Simultaneous modeling with other pollutants. See if rural/urban differences are there for other pollutants.
