fls: Fuzzy Linear Regression using the Fuzzy Least Squares Method
Description
The function calculates fuzzy regression coeficients using the fuzzy least squares
(FLS) method proposed by Diamond (1988) for non-symmetric triangular fuzzy numbers.
Usage
fls(x, y)
Value
Returns a fuzzylm object that includes the model coefficients, limits
for data predictions from the model and the input data.
Arguments
x
two column matrix with the second column representing independent variable
observations. The first column is related to the intercept, so it consists of ones.
Missing values not allowed.
y
matrix of dependent variable observations. The first column contains the
central tendency, the second column the left spread and the third column the right
spread of non-symmetric triangular fuzzy numbers. Missing values not allowed.
Details
The FLS method for the fuzzy linear regression fits a simple model.
