PROBLEM DESPRICTION

Through Prof. Hung-Yi Lee’s OCW (Open Course Ware) and the homework “PM2.5 prediction” learning the knowledge of Linear Regression.

• Data source
  “環境保護署 2019 年桃園市平鎮區空氣品質監測資料”

• Choose Model
  

  • Let "y'" be the prediction PM2.5,
    "x" be the features of 9 hours sensor types (ex. CO, NO, PM10, PM2.5, Rainfalls),
    "w" be the weights of features
  • Function 1: y’ = w * x
  • Function 2: y’ = w1 * x + w2 * x^2

• Loss function
  RMSE (root-mean-square error)

• Gradient descent
  Vanilla (basic), SGDM, MBSGD, AdaGrad, RMSProp, Adam

• Flow chart:

HIGHLIGHT

PRE-PROCESSING

• Using Python rather than excel
• Invalid value, null value
  filled with the mean of sensor types
• Split training dataset
  20 days/month
• Split testing dataset
  Remaining days/month (8~11 days)
• Data extraction
  Every 9 hours with 15 sensor type/hour be the features and predict the PM2.5 of 10th hour

ADJUST LEARNING RATE

• Model: Power of one
• Gradient: Vanilla g radient descent
• Iteration: 1,000 times

FEATURE SELECTION

• Training set number: 4,521
• Validation set number: 1,131
• Iteration: 10,000 times
• Gradient: AdaGrad

FEATURE SCALING

• Z-Score (Standard Score): (x – μ) / σ
• Max-Min: x - min(x) / max(x) - min(x)

PERFORMANCE IMPORVEMENT

• Training set number: 5,652
• Testing set number: 1,446
• Iteration: 150,000 times

LISTING

• DataPreprocession.py: Data cleaning, Dataset spliting
• TestDataPreprocessing.py: Feature extraction, Shuffle
• LinearRegression.py: Feature extraction, Shuffle, Normalization,Split validation set, Training, Prediction
• ReDesignModel_Seq.py: Same as LinearRegression.py but use "square function model"
• getHT.py: Raspberry Pi reads temperature and humidity datas from DHT11
• CSVDownloader_GoogleSheet.py: Automatically download datas frominternet google sheet
• getUbidotsData.gs: Get datas from Ubidots to Google sheet, "gs"means "Google Apps Script"

DISCUSSION

1. What's happened to adjusting learning rate?
   
   • If learning rate is not minimal enough, loss would not converge (even become greater than greater)
     
   • If learning rate is too small, loss convergence would be inefficient
   • Only learning rate just fit, loss convergence would be efficient
2. Why removing some features would improve the performance?
   • Maybe the other features effect on PM2.5 be not that fast
3. Why Z-Score is better in performance of convergence?
   • Z-Score is appropriate in unknowing maximum and minimum
4. How to improve model?
   1. Shuffle training and testing data
   2. Using AdaGrad rather than Vanilla gradient descent
   3. Feature only select PM10 and PM2.5
5. Final improvement of model:
   converge loss value descents 0.0225
