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

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 ...
