Mixture of linear regression models is used for the short-term statistical forecasting of the daily mean PM10 concentration. Hourly concentrations of PM10 have been measured in three cities in Haute-Normandie (France): Rouen, Le Havre and Dieppe. The Haute-Normandie region is located at northwest of Paris, near the south side of Manche sea and is heavily industrialized. We consider six monitoring stations reflecting the diversity of situations: urban background, traffic, rural and industrial stations. We have focused our attention on recent data from 2007 to 2011. We forecast the daily mean PM10 concentration by modeling it as a mixture of linear regression models involving meteorological predictors and the average concentration measured on the previous day. The values of observed meteorological variables are used for fitting the models but the corresponding predictions are considered for the test data, leading to realistic evaluations of forecasting performances, which are calculated through a leave-one-out scheme on the four years. We discuss in this paper several methodological issues including estimation schemes, introduction of the deterministic predictions of meteorological models and how to handle the forecasting at various horizons from some hours to one day ahead.
