【 摘 要 】

Data smoothing is often required within the environmental data analysis. A number of methods and algorithms that can be applied for data smoothing have been proposed. This paper gives an overview and compares the performance of different smoothing procedures that estimate the trend in the data, based on the surrounding noisy observations that can be applied on environmental data. The considered methods include kernel regression with both global and local bandwidth, moving average, exponential smoothing, robust repeated median regression, trend filtering and approach based on discrete Fourier and discrete wavelet transform. The methods are applied to real data obtained by measurement of PM10 concentrations and compared in a simulation study.
