Modelling factors affecting relative performance of two dust samplers in Labrador mines

Abstract

This study was undertaken for modelling the effect of temperature and humidity on relative performance of two dust samplers in two mining complexes in Labrador, Canada. Data were collected from five major locations. A statistical analysis is given to identify the distributional pattern of dust concentration. Then the multiple regression based on least squares as well as M-estimation of regression techniques were applied for modelling.
