Abstract
In this study, a new method for fuzzy linear regression analysis characterized by crisp predictors and fuzzy responses is proposed. The fuzzy responses are decomposed into two separate closed intervals, and then a fuzzy linear regression model is fitted by using the mid-points and ranges of the interval values that result from the center and bounds of the fuzzy responses. The coefficients of the model are estimated within a three-steps procedure by means of the locally weighted estimation procedure. In each step, the unknown bandwidth for identifying the neighboring data points is specified by means of cross-validation. The fuzzy predicted values are then determined via the mid-points and ranges of the predicted interval values. As for performance assessment and comparison with other fuzzy regression models, two approved goodness-of-fit measures are computed. The practical applicability of the proposed model is investigated in the context of a simulation study and four real-data applications. The empirical results reveal the superiority of the introduced regression model compared to its competitors.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Computational and Applied Mathematics publishes original papers of high scientific value in all areas of computational and applied mathematics. The main interest of the Journal is in papers that describe and analyze new computational techniques for solving scientific or engineering problems. Also the improved analysis, including the effectiveness and applicability, of existing methods and algorithms is of importance. The computational efficiency (e.g. the convergence, stability, accuracy, ...) should be proved and illustrated by nontrivial numerical examples. Papers describing only variants of existing methods, without adding significant new computational properties are not of interest.
The audience consists of: applied mathematicians, numerical analysts, computational scientists and engineers.
