An Introduction To Fuzzy Regression Analysis With A Ballistic Application

Regression models are frequently used for predicting, but quite often the value assumed by the independent variable is somewhat vague. That problem is overcome in this paper by utilizing a combination of fuzzy set methodology and conventional statistical techniques; specifically, fuzzy regression analysis. Fuzzy regression analysis is applied to a particular vulnerability problem, and the difference between this approach and one which utilizes only probability theory is briefly examined.
