Classical linear regression has been used to measure the relationship between rainfall data and altitude in different meteorological stations, in order to evaluate a linear relation. The values of rainfall are supposed as dependent variables and the values of elevation of each station as independent variables. It has long been known that a classical statistical relationship exists between annual rainfall and the station elevation which in many cases is linear as the one examined in this article. However classical linear regression makes rigid assumptions about the statistical properties of the model, accepting the error terms as random variables, and the violation of this assumption could affect the validity of the classical linear regression. Fuzzy regression assumes ambiguous and imprecise parameters and data. For this reason it may be more effective than classical regression. In this paper we evaluate the relationship between annual rainfall data and the elevation of each station in Thessaly’s meteorological stations, using fuzzy linear regression with trapezoidal membership functions. In this possibilistic model the dependent measured elevations are crisp, and the independent observed rainfall values as well as the parameters of the model are fuzzy.

This study aims to assess the short-term response of groundwater to the main hydro-meteorological variables of drought in a coastal unconfined aquifer. For this purpose, a multiple fuzzy linear regression-based methodology is implemented in order to relate rainfall, streamflow and the potential evapotranspiration to groundwater. Fuzzy regression analysis is recommended when there is a lack of data. The uncertainty of the system is incorporated into the regression coefficients which, in this study, are considered to be fuzzy symmetrical triangular numbers. Two objective functions are used producing a fuzzy band in which all the observed data must be included. The first objective function, based on Tanaka’s model, minimizes the total width of the produced fuzzy band. The second one includes the first while additionally minimizing the distance between the central value of the fuzzy output of the model and the observed value. Validity of the model is checked through suitability measures. The present methodology is applied at the east part of the Nestos River Delta in the Prefecture of Xanthi (Greece), where the observed values of the depth of groundwater level of four wells are examined.

The creative industry is one of sector that has rapid development in Indonesia, especially in Bandung. The part of this sector that tends to decrease every year or have smallest development level is Handicrafts. Although the number of businessman in this part is less than in food and beverage part, the competition between them is also fierce. The businessman should be the one who can decide the proper competitive strategy to survive in this competition. The other way to do to win the competition is applying innovation strategy towards the product so that it can be different from our competitor products and attract more customers. This research determined the relationship between innovation strategy and competitive advantage in the UKM handicraft business in Bandung. Linear regression will be used to determine this relationship.

In this paper, we propose a statistical relationship between acceptance rate & first decision time of some indexed journals by applying fuzzy linear regression (FLR). We collect the data from two web sources: Elsevier journal finder, and Springer journal suggester. In this problem, we concentrate on the data of the acceptance rate and first decision time. To examine the relationship between these measures, we apply a statistical approach, which is based on correlation and regression analysis. We determine the relative error (RE) of the data collected. We plot the scatter diagram between the two measures. Pearson correlation coefficient (CC) value is also calculated. All this analysis reports that there is a moderate positive correlation between acceptance rate & first decision time.

Regression analysis has been used to characterize the relationship between an exposure dose and the incidence of an adverse health effect such as cancer. However, the regression rarely describes the true relationship due to uncertainties in dose-response data and relationships. Therefore, a method is developed to perform dose-response assessments by a fuzzy linear regression which explicitly exhibit these uncertainties. This method is applied to define the relationship between a particular nitrate dose to humans and its corresponding cancer risk.

This paper proposes an α-level estimation algorithm for ridge fuzzy regression modeling, addressing the multicollinearity phenomenon in the fuzzy linear regression setting. By incorporating α-levels in the estimation procedure, we are able to construct a fuzzy ridge estimator which does not depend on the distance between fuzzy numbers. An optimized α-level estimation algorithm is selected which minimizes the root mean squares for fuzzy data. Simulation experiments and an empirical study comparing the proposed ridge fuzzy regression with fuzzy linear regression is presented. Results show that the proposed model can control the effect of multicollinearity from moderate to extreme levels of correlation between covariates, across a wide spectrum of spreads for the fuzzy response.

A so-called fuzzy linear regression is used in dendroecology to model empirically tree growth as a function of a bioclimatic index representing the water stress, i.e., the ratio of actual evapotranspiration to potential evapotranspiration. The response function predicts tree growth as (fuzzy) intervals, narrow in the domain where the bioclimatic index is most limiting and becoming progressively larger elsewhere. The method is tested with a population of Pinus pineaL. from the Provence region in France. It is shown that fuzzy linear regression gives results comparable with those obtained using a linear response function. The interval of credibility given by the fuzzy regression suggests that more precise expected growth is obtained for high water stress, which is typical of Mediterranean climate. Fuzzy linear regression can be also a method to test different hypotheses on several potential predictors when any further experimental approach is quite impossible as it is for trees in their natural environment. To sum up, fuzzy regression could be a first step before the construction of a kind of growth simulator adapted to different environments of a given species. In environmental sciences, the fuzzy response function thus appears to be an approach between the mechanistic and the statistical descriptive approaches.

Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) is one of the escalating subjects used for assessing health condition among patients who suffer specific diseases or ailments. It has been known that dimensions of HRQoL are able to mirror one’s overall health condition using mainly standard statistical technique. However, devising the extent of contribution of multiple dimensions towards overall health conditions is not straight forward as the arbitrary nature of HRQoL dimensions. Therefore this paper aims to propose a model to explain the relationship between HRQoL dimensions and overall health condition using a matrix driven fuzzy linear regression. An experiment was conducted to measure the strength of the relationship among elderly people via judgment provided by ten decision makers. The health condition linguistic data and scaled data of regularity of experiencing health-related problems among elderly people were given by the decision makers. The five stepwise computations based on matrix-driven fuzzy linear regression were proposed to describe the relationship. It is found that nearly forty six percent variations in overall health condition of elder people were explained by the eights HRQoL dimensions. The employment of matrix-driven multivariate fuzzy linear regression model has successfully identified the strength of the relationship between multi dimensions of HRQoL and overall health condition in the case of elderly people.
