Stress is a common human reaction to demanding circumstances, and prolonged and excessive stress can have detrimental effects on both mental and physical health. Heart rate variability (HRV) is widely used as a measure of stress due to its ability to capture variations in the time intervals between heartbeats. However, achieving high accuracy in stress detection through machine learning (ML), using a reduced set of statistical features extracted from HRV, remains a significant challenge. In this study, we aim to address these challenges by proposing lightweight ML models that can effectively detect stress using minimal HRV features and are computationally efficient enough for IoT deployment. We have developed ML models incorporating efficient feature selection techniques and hyper-parameter tuning. The publicly available SWELL-KW dataset has been utilized for evaluating the performance of our models. Our results demonstrate that lightweight models such as k-NN and Decision Tree can achieve competitive accuracy while ensuring lower computational demands, making them ideal for real-time applications. Promisingly, among the developed models, the k-nearest neighbors (k-NN) algorithm has emerged as the best-performing model, achieving an accuracy score of 99.3% using only three selected features. To confirm real-world deployability, we benchmarked the best model on an 8 GB NVIDIA Jetson Orin Nano edge device, where it retained 99.26% accuracy and completed training in 31 s. Furthermore, our study has incorporated local interpretable model-agnostic explanations to provide comprehensive insights into the predictions made by the k-NN-based architecture.

We present inverse modelling (top down) estimates of European methane (CH4) emissions for 2006–2012 based on a new quality-controlled and harmonised in situ data set from 18 European atmospheric monitoring stations. We applied an ensemble of seven inverse models and performed four inversion experiments, investigating the impact of different sets of stations and the use of a priori information on emissions.
The inverse models infer total CH4 emissions of 26.8 (20.2–29.7) Tg CH4 yr−1 (mean, 10th and 90th percentiles from all inversions) for the EU-28 for 2006–2012 from the four inversion experiments. For comparison, total anthropogenic CH4 emissions reported to UNFCCC (bottom up, based on statistical data and emissions factors) amount to only 21.3 Tg CH4 yr−1 (2006) to 18.8 Tg CH4 yr−1 (2012). A potential explanation for the higher range of top-down estimates compared to bottom-up inventories could be the contribution from natural sources, such as peatlands, wetlands, and wet soils. Based on seven different wetland inventories from the Wetland and Wetland CH4 Inter-comparison of Models Project (WETCHIMP), total wetland emissions of 4.3 (2.3–8.2) Tg CH4 yr−1 from the EU-28 are estimated. The hypothesis of significant natural emissions is supported by the finding that several inverse models yield significant seasonal cycles of derived CH4 emissions with maxima in summer, while anthropogenic CH4 emissions are assumed to have much lower seasonal variability. Taking into account the wetland emissions from the WETCHIMP ensemble, the top-down estimates are broadly consistent with the sum of anthropogenic and natural bottom-up inventories. However, the contribution of natural sources and their regional distribution remain rather uncertain.
Furthermore, we investigate potential biases in the inverse models by comparison with regular aircraft profiles at four European sites and with vertical profiles obtained during the Infrastructure for Measurement of the European Carbon Cycle (IMECC) aircraft campaign. We present a novel approach to estimate the biases in the derived emissions, based on the comparison of simulated and measured enhancements of CH4 compared to the background, integrated over the entire boundary layer and over the lower troposphere. The estimated average regional biases range between −40 and 20 % at the aircraft profile sites in France, Hungary and Poland.
