Boscovich Fuzzy Regression Line

We introduce a new fuzzy linear regression method. The method is capable of approximating fuzzy relationships between an independent and a dependent variable. The independent and dependent variables are expected to be a real value and triangular fuzzy numbers, respectively. We demonstrate on twenty...
