KRIVAKOVSKAYA R.V., NOCHVAI V.I.

ABSTRACT

The paper describes investigation of the influence of the accuracy of air pollution monitoring data on the solution accuracy of the inverse problem for power identification of point emission sources. The inverse problem is solved using the Bayesian inference and multilinear regression model.

KEYWORDS

inverse problem, Bayes' theorem, accuracy, environmental monitoring.
