An analysis of air pollution by suspended particulate matter PM10 in Brno, the second largest urban agglomeration of the Czech Republic, based on generalized linear model (GLM) is presented. Average daily concentrations coming from PM10 monitoring for the period 1998-2005 have been processed. The measured meteorological factors: air temperature and humidity, direction and wind speed were considered as covariates along with some additional seasonal factors. A family of complex (generalized) linear models has been suggested exhibiting strong rank-deficiency in the design matrix to allow for more precise modeling involving identification of significant air pollution sources, among others. From each of them the parameter estimates were obtained using both standard estimation procedure and a new sparse parameter estimation technique based on BPA4 - a four-step modification of the Basis Pursuit Algorithm originally suggested in [Chen S. S., Donoho D. L., Saunders M. A.. Atomic decomposition by basis pursuit. SIAM J. Sci. Comput., 20(1):33--61, 1998.] for time- scale analysis of digital signals. As the standard estimation algorithms often fail due to numerical instability caused by strong overparametrization, we have applied this new computationally intensive approach allowing us to reliably identify nearly zero parameters in the model and thus to find numerically stable sparse solutions. The goal of the analysis was to identify the model and algorithm yielding most precise one-day forecasts of the level of pollution by PM10 with regard to the meteorological and seasonal covariates.
