MCMCsa: Bayesian source apportionment model

Description Details References

Description

Estimates sources of particulate matter (PM) air pollution using chemical constituent concentrations of PM. The model is developed using Nikolov et al. 2008 and Hackstadt and Peng 2014.

Details

To estimate sources, users need data from an ambient monitor, which is a matrix of days by number of chemical constituents. Then, users apply the function mcmcsa to the data, specifying the number of sources and necessary conditions for identifiability.
