A Fuzzy Multivariate Regression Model to Control Outliers and Multicollinearity Based on Exact Predictors and Fuzzy Responses

چکیده مقاله

Multivariate regression is an approach for modeling the linear relationship between several variables. This paper proposed a ridge methodology with a kernel-based weighted absolute error target with exact predictors and fuzzy responses. Some standard goodness-of-fit criteria were also used to examine the performance of the proposed method. The effectiveness of the proposed method was then illustrated through two numerical examples including a simulation study. The effectiveness and advantages of the proposed fuzzy multiple linear regression model were also examined and compared with some well-established methods through some common goodness-of-fit criteria. The numerical results indicated that our prediction/estimation gives more accurate results in cases where multicollinearity and/or outliers occur in the data set.
