Visualization of initial data and simulation results of temperature dependence of mortality

Natalia Shartova

She took an educational course on modern methods of time series analysis in the search for relationships between ambient temperature, air pollution and public health. This approach involves the use of statistical models for long-term daily data. The development of these methods opens up new opportunities in terms of forecasting and assessing the extent of adverse effects on public health and excess mortality as a result of the effects of heat waves, forest fires and other natural phenomena associated with climate change.
