Abstract

Fairly rapid environmental changes call for continuous surveillance and decision making, areas where IT technologies can be valuable. In the aforementioned context this work describes the application of a novel classifier, namely greektext σ-FLNMAP, for estimating the ozone concentration level in the atmosphere. In a series of experiments on meteorological and air pollutants data, the greektext σ-FLNMAP classifier compares favorably with both back-propagation neural networks and the C4.5 algorithm; moreover greektext σ-FLNMAP induces only a few rules from the data. The greektext σ-FLNMAP classifier can be implemented as either a neural network or a decision tree. We also discuss the far reaching potential of greektext σ-FLNMAP in IT applications due to its applicability on partially (lattice) ordered data.
