Abstract: Understanding and forecasting air quality index (AQI) plays a vital role in guiding the reduction of air pollution and helping social sustainable development. By combining fuzzy logic with decomposition techniques, ANFIS has become an important means to analyze the data resources, uncertainty and fuzziness. However, few studies have paid attention to the noise of decomposed subseries. Therefore, this paper presents a novel decomposition-denoising ANFIS model named SSADD-DE-ANFIS (Singular Spectrum Analysis Decomposition and Denoising-Differential Evolution-Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System). This method uses twice SSA to decompose and denoise the AQI series, respectively, then fed the subseries obtained after the decomposition and denoising into the constructed ANFIS for training and predicting, and the parameters of ANFIS are optimized using DE. To investigate the prediction performance of the proposed model, twelve models are included in the comparisons. The experimental results of four seasons show that: the RMSE of the proposed SSADD-DE-ANFIS model is 1.400628, 0.63844, 0.901987 and 0.634114, respectively, which is 19.38%, 21.27%, 20.43%, 21.27% and 87.36%, 88.12%, 88.97%, 88.71% lower than that of the single SSA decomposition and SSA denoising. Diebold-Mariano test is performed on all the prediction results, and the test results show that the proposed model has the best prediction performance.
