Statistical Modeling of the Groundwater Arsenic Contamination Level in Bangladesh Due to Chemical Elements
Journal Title: Journal of Applied Quantitative Methods - Year 2008, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
This paper intends to offer a modeling of the magnitude of arsenic, by using 54 variables of chemical elements based on secondary data. The samples are collected from 113 wells from different areas of Bangladesh. The study shows that 9 variables are significantly related with the arsenic variable. Analysis also claims that arsenic variable can be modeled with three principal components (a linear combination of independent variables). The study also considered the latitude and longitude variables but there is no spatial autocorrelation between them.
