New method improves accuracy of thermal comfort index calculation

Researchers have developed a more accurate method for calculating the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), a key metric for human thermal comfort. This new approach utilizes sparse regression with orthogonal polynomials, specifically Legendre polynomials, to create an approximation that is both computationally efficient and numerically stable. The method significantly reduces errors compared to the standard polynomial approximation, particularly large errors, and demonstrates robust generalization through testing on a large portion of the data.
