Distribution mixtures are used as models to analyze grouped data. The estimation of parameters is an important step for mixture distributions. The latent class model is generally used as the analysis of mixture distributions for discrete data. In this paper, we consider the parameter estimation for a mixture of logistic regression models. We know that the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm...

The traditional regression analysis is usually applied to homogeneous observations. However, there are several real situations where the observations are not homogeneous. In these cases, by utilizing the traditional regression, we have a loss of performance in fitting terms. Then, for improving the goodness of fit, it is more suitable to apply the so-called clusterwise regression analysis. The ...

Fuzzy regression analysis can be thought of as a fuzzy variation of classical regression analysis. It has been widely studied and applied in diverse areas. In general, the analysis of fuzzy regression models can be roughly divided into two categories. The 0rst is based on Tanaka’s linear-programming approach. The second category is based on the fuzzy least-squares approach. In this paper, new t...

Kim and Bishu (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 100 (1998) 343-352) proposeda modification of fuzzy linear regression analysis. Their modificationis based on a criterion of minimizing the difference of the fuzzy membershipvalues between the observed and estimated fuzzy numbers. We show that theirmethod often does not find acceptable fuzzy linear regression coefficients andto overcome this shortcoming, pr...

In fuzzy domain, a variable (vague linguistic term) often depends not only on a single variable but on more then one variables. In such a situation multiple regression analysis is more appropriate than simple regression analysis involving one independent variable. This paper introduces fuzzy multiple regression equations of fuzzy sets those are treated as a variable with certain values assigned...

Fuzzy regression model has been widely used in recent years throughout the globe. In view of this, an attempt has been made in this research paper to present the review of fuzzy regression model for better estimation and prediction. The regression analysis is statistical tool used for prediction. As we know that the regression analysis follows Gaussian assumptions, sometimes dataset is too smal...

The theoretical background for abstract formalization of the vague phenomenon of complex systems is the fuzzy set theory. In the paper, vague data is defined as specialized fuzzy sets fuzzy numbers and a fuzzy linear regression model is described as a fuzzy function with fuzzy numbers as vague regression parameters. To identify the fuzzy coefficients of the model, the genetic algorithm is used....

In this paper we propose a new approach, called a fuzzy class model for Poisson regression, in the analysis of heterogeneous count data. On the basis of fuzzy set concept and fuzzy classification maximum likelihood (FCML) procedures we create an FCML algorithm for fuzzy class Poisson regression models. Traditionally, the EM algorithm had been used for latent class regression models. Thus, the a...
