Abstract

Air pollution is a subject widely studied around the world, mainly due to its impacts on human health. The assessment of air pollution impact on health is often carried out using statistical regressions. This work proposes to analyze the performance of Echo State Networks with and without regularization coefficient to predict the number of hospital admissions due to air pollution and climate variables. This procedure can help the governors to take decisions in situations of high concentrations of pollutants. The results showed that the Artificial Neural Networks with regularization coefficient reached best overall results.
