Development and back-extrapolation of NO2 land use regression models for historic exposure assessment in Great Britain (Publications)
Within year, hold-out validation yielded MSE-R2 (i.e. fit around the 1:1 line) values of 0.25~0.63 and 0.51~0.65 for 2001 and 2009, respectively. Back-extrapolation was conducted for 2009 and 2001 models [...] sites from automatic monitoring in 2001. Values of MSE-R2 for back-extrapolation to 1991 were 0.42~0.45 and 0.52~0.55 for 2001 and 2009 models, respectively, but model performance varied by region. Back-e
