Complex networks from time series data allow an efficient historical stage division of urban air quality information

作者:

Highlights:

• The historical stage division of air quality information via network science is investigated.

• A novel dividing technique via community detection algorithm is proposed.

• Historical information of air quality is reasonably divided to obtain the statistical results.

• Some critical events or periods affecting air quality can be identified effectively.
