Fuzzy data analysis by possibilistic linear models (Q1096574)

Recent researches show that fuzzy data given by experts may be regarded as a distribution of possibility. Linear systems with fuzzy parameters defined by the extension principle are called possibilistic linear systems. The problem considered in the paper is to identify fuzzy parameters of a possibilistic linear model, given the input-output data, with nonfuzzy input vector and a fuzzy output. Upper and lower estimations of polynomials with fuzzy parameters, which can be also called possibilistic linear systems with respect to fuzzy parameters are obtained by solving linear programming problems. Fuzzy outputs are obtained in fuzzy numbers, so this approach is a sort of fuzzy interval analysis which is extension of interval analysis.
