Modeling of contaminant concentration using the classification-based model integrated with data preprocessing algorithms

Water quality is one of the most important factors contributing to a healthy life; meanwhile, total dissolved solids (TDS) and electrical conductivity (EC) are the most important parameters in water quality, and many water developing plans have been implemented for the recognition of these factors....

description Water quality is one of the most important factors contributing to a healthy life; meanwhile, total dissolved solids (TDS) and electrical conductivity (EC) are the most important parameters in water quality, and many water developing plans have been implemented for the recognition of these factors. The accurate prediction of water quality parameters (WQPs) is an essential requisite for water quality management, human health, public consumption, and domestic uses. Using three novel data preprocessing algorithms (DPAs), including empirical mode decomposition (EMD), ensemble EMD (EEMD), and variational mode decomposition (VMD) to estimate two important WQPs, TDS and EC, differentiates this study from the existing literature.
