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...

A weighted linear regression model with impercise response and p-real explanatory variables is analyzed. The LR fuzzy random variable is introduced and a metric is suggested for coping with this kind of variables. A least square solution for estimating the parameters of the model is derived. The result are illustrated by the means of some case studies.

Despite the high complexity of real world, linear regression still plays an important role in estimating parameters to model a physical relationship between at least two variables. The precision estimated parameters, which can usually be considered as indicator solution quality, is conventionally obtained from inverse normal equations matrix for intensive computation required when number observ...
