Ensemble averaging using remote sensing data to model spatiotemporal PM10 concentrations in sparsely monitored South Africa (Publications)
out-of-bag R(2) of 0.96 was achieved for the first stage model. The stage 2 cross-validated (CV) ensemble model captured 0.84 variability in ground-monitored PM10 with a spatial CV R(2) of 0.48 and temporal [...] temporal CV R(2) of 0.80. The stage 2 model indicated an optimal performance of the daily predictions when aggregated to monthly and annual means. Our results suggest that a combination of remote sensing data
