Title
Improved Correction of Atmospheric Pressure Data Obtained by Smartphones through Machine Learning.
Abstract
A correction method using machine learning aims to improve the conventional linear regression LR based method for correction of atmospheric pressure data obtained by smartphones. The method proposed in this study conducts clustering and regression analysis with time domain classification. Data obtained in Gyeonggi-do, one of the most populous provinces in South Korea surrounding Seoul with the size of 10,000 km2, from July 2014 through December 2014, using smartphones were classified with respect to time of day daytime or nighttime as well as day of the week weekday or weekend and the user’s mobility, prior to the expectation-maximization EM clustering. Subsequently, the results were analyzed for comparison by applying machine learning methods such as multilayer perceptron MLP and support vector regression SVR. The results showed a mean absolute error MAE 26% lower on average when regression analysis was performed through EM clustering compared to that obtained without EM clustering. For machine learning methods, the MAE for SVR was around 31% lower for LR and about 19% lower for MLP. It is concluded that pressure data from smartphones are as good as the ones from national automatic weather station AWS network.
