The purpose of predictive modelling is to predict the variable of interest with reasonable precision, and often to assess the contribution of the independent variables to the dependent variable. In this paper, all of the works examined are aimed at predicting concentrations of outdoor PM₁₀ concentrations. The vast majority of the works reported used almost exclusively predictors of the meteorological and source emissions. However, the use of the Hybrid model in predicting PM₁₀ concentrations is still not widely used in Malaysia.
