Prediction of Municipal Solid Waste Generation for Developing Countries in Temporal Scale: A Fuzzy Inference System Approach
fuzzy inference system fis based prediction models municipal solid waste msw generation developed present work study influences total population percapita annual income literacy rate age group monthly consumer expenditure temporal variability msw generation kolhapur city india ten models developed considering two input variables time study effect socioeconomic demographic parameters msw generation finally five input variables considered single model predict msw generation temporal scale result shows model input variables consumer expenditure age group best fitted highest coefficient determination 0985 value lowest standard error estimate 1562 value modelling period design period models related consumer expenditure show higher waste generation models related population age show prediction similar kolhapur municipal corporations prediction however model input literacy income shows low waste generation prediction proposed modelling technique useful msw generation prediction temporal scale uncertain random environment globally
