Predictive Analytics for Future Air Pollution Levels Based on Population Growth.

Air is very beneficial and crucial for every living creature on earth, hence it is very important to protect the air quality in order to avoid diseases. However, due to the increase in population, some human activities have been causing detrimental damage to the air quality. Some people have realized the potential impact of this problem and have done studies on predicting future air pollution. Some implemented machine learning models such as random forest regression, support vector machine, etc, while others have utilized deep learning models in their research.. This study will implement five different models, specifically linear regression, ridge regression, random forest regression, and multilayer perceptron regression. There will be two datasets used in this paper which will be merged and processed. There will be three key evaluation metrics being used in this paper namely root mean squared error, mean absolute error, and r-squared. The results from all of the models have concluded that more optimization and factors are needed in order to boost the final result of this study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
