ABSTRAK

Peramalan kepekatan PM10 adalah penting kerana menyedut udara mengandungi PM10 boleh membawa kepada pelbagai penyakit kronik seperti kanser dan bronkitis. Kajian ini merupakan kajian perintis menggunakan pendekatan kalut bagi meramal PM10 di Malaysia. Data yang dikaji adalah siri masa PM10 mengikut jam yang dicerap di stesen penanda aras yang terletak dalam daerah Jerantut di negeri Pahang. Pendekatan kalut mempunyai dua langkah iaitu pembinaan semula ruang fasa dan proses peramalan. Melalui langkah 1, ruang fasa pelbagai-matra dibina menggunakan parameter masa tunda τ = 7 dan matra pembenaman m = 4 yang masing-masing diperoleh daripada kaedah maklumat purata bersama dan kaedah Cao. Hasil daripada gambarajah ruang fasa dan juga plot parameter kaedah Cao mempamerkan bahawa data bersifat kalut. Melalui langkah 2, peramalan satu jam ke hadapan selama sebulan siri masa PM10 dijalankan menggunakan kaedah penghampiran setempat. Nilai pekali kolerasi antara data ramalan dan data sebenar hanyalah 0.5692. Namun, graf perbandingan menunjukkan bahawa data ramalan adalah hampir dengan data sebenar dengan nilai ralat punca min kuasa dua peramalan adalah 7.6814. Ini menunjukkan kesesuaian penggunaan kaedah penghampiran setempat dalam meramal siri masa PM10 dan ia merupakan petanda positif bahawa pendekatan kalut ini boleh diguna pakai ke atas siri masa bahan pencemar di Malaysia.

ABSTRACT

Forecasting of PM10 concentration is important as breathing air containing PM10 can lead to chronic diseases such as cancer and bronchitis. This study is a pilot study using chaotic approach to forecast PM10 in Malaysia. Studied data is a time series of observed hourly PM10 at benchmark station located in the district of Jerantut in Pahang state. Chaotic approach has two steps, namely the phase space reconstruction and the forecasting process. Through step 1, multi-dimensional phase space is reconstructed using the parameters of the delay time τ = 7 and embedding dimension m = 4, respectively, derived from the average mutual information and Cao method. The results from the phase space diagram and parameter plot of Cao method demonstrates that the data are chaotic. Through step 2, 1 h ahead forecasting for a month PM10 time series is carried out using the local approximation method. Correlation coefficient value between the actual and forecasted data is only 0.5692. However, comparison graphs show that forecasted data are close to the actual data with root mean square error value 7.6814. This demonstrates the suitability of the local approximation method to forecast the time series of PM10 and it's a positive sign that this chaotic approach is applicable to the time series of pollutants in Malaysia.
