Classification of structural equation models based on fuzzy regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Structural equation models (SEM) are reference techniques for measuring causeeffect relationships in complex systems. In many real cases observations are a priori grouped into homogeneous segments according to a specific characteristic, so that different models can be assessed for each segment. The present paper proposes to adopt an Euclidean metric based on the model parameters in order to determine differences among models. However, estimated models assess the relation structures in different proportions, i.e. the residual component can vary with respect to the different models. In order to overcome this shortcoming the present work suggests to introduce fuzzy regression (FR) inside PLS path modeling (PLS–PM).

A matrix method for estimating linear regression coefficients based on fuzzy numbers
In this paper, a new method for estimating the linear regression coefficients approximation is presented based on Z-numbers. In this model, observations are real numbers, regression coefficients and dependent variables (y) have values for Z-numbers. To estimate the coefficients of this model, we first convert the linear regression model based on Z-numbers into two fuzzy linear regression mode...
متن کاملAn Approach of Artificial Neural Networks Modeling Based on Fuzzy Regression for Forecasting Purposes
In this paper, a new approach of modeling for Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) models based on the concepts of fuzzy regression is proposed. For this purpose, we reformulated ANN model as a fuzzy nonlinear regression model while it has advantages of both fuzzy regression and ANN models. Hence, it can be applied to uncertain, ambiguous, or complex environments due to its flexibility for forecas...
متن کاملEstimation of coal proximate analysis factors and calorific value by multivariable regression method and adaptive neuro-fuzzy inference system (ANFIS)
The proximate analysis is the most common form of coal evaluation and it reveals the quality of a coal sample. It examines four factors including the moisture, ash, volatile matter (VM), and fixed carbon (FC) within the coal sample. Every factor is determined through a distinct experimental procedure under ASTM specified conditions. These determinations are time consuming and require a signific...
