Abstract

This research aims to study a development of the forecasting model to predict the daily average PM10 concentration in the North area of Thailand with 3 datasets. Each of datasets is the univariate time series that is a daily data, since  1st Jan - 31th May 2016. To generate the forecasting model, we present a forecasting model by the artificial neural network technique combine with the autoregressive of ARIMA model, called AR-ANN model. We evaluated our experiment by measurement error between our AR-ANN model and the ARIMA model. The error measurement of each model is measured by the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) and the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). From the result, we found that RMSE and MAPE of the AR-ANN model has lower than ARIMA model for whole datasets. Therefore, we concluded that our AR-ANN model can use to forecast the daily average PM10 concentration appropriately. Keywords :  forecasting, PM10, Artificial Neural Networks, autoregressive
