Skills of Statistical Learning Algorithms in Thermal Stress Assessment Compared with the Expert Judgement Inherent to the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI)

open access: yes
The objective of this paper was to verify the applicability of statistical learning (SL) compared to human reasoning with respect to the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), a complex tool for the assessment of outdoor thermal stress. UTCI is an equivalent temperature index based on the 48-dimensional output of an advanced model of human ...
