Abstract

Air pollution belongs to environmental threats. This paper deals with an application of selected algorithms used in decision trees in order to an air quality modelling. We focused on daily observations of air polluting substances concentrations in one of the cities in the Pardubice region in the Czech Republic. After data collection, data description, and data preprocessing, we worked on the creation of classification models and the analysis of the achieved results. As modeling algorithms we selected C5.0 algorithm, boosting, CHAID method and CR&T. Differences of results were minimal.
