Abstract

We describe a method for constructing prediction models for daily pollen concentrations of several pollen taxa in different measurement sites in Switzerland. The method relies on daily pollen concentration time series that were measured with Hirst samplers. Each prediction is based on the weather conditions observed near the pollen measurement site. For each prediction model, we do model assessment with a test data set spanning several years.
