Abstract:Environmental epidemiology studies require accurate estimation of exposure intensities to air pollution. The process from air pollutant emission to individual exposure is however complex and nonlinear, which poses signi cant modeling challenges. This study aims to develop an exposure assessment model that can strike a balance between accuracy, complexity, and usability. In this regard, neural networks offer one possible approach. This study employed a customdesigned pruned feed-forward neural network (pruned-F… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
