Investigating the Relationship between Air Pollutants and Meteorological Parameters in the Agricultural Sector of Mazandaran Province Using Logistic Regression by Majid Ghorbani, Abolfazl Mahmoodi, Mohammad Khaledi

“…Logistic regression method is considered as a linear developed method to predict air pollution; Time series analysis of parameters affecting air pollutants and addressing how much data is needed in previous times to predict the amount of pollutants one step ahead is an issue that has been less studied. The current study aims to model the process of five important pollutants including carbon monoxide (CO), ozone (O3), particulate matter less than 10 μm in diameter (PM10), sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in Mazandaran province, using logistic regression method and time series analysis, to examine the efficiency and flexibility of the methods used in modeling and forecasting these pollutants. …”
