Abstract

Regression analysis is widely used for modeling of real-world processes in various fields. It should be noted that information relevant to real-world processes is characterized by imprecision and partial reliability. This involves combination of fuzzy and probabilistic uncertainties. Prof.. L. Zadeh introduced the concept of a Z-number as a formal construct for dealing with such information. The present stateof-the-art of regression analysis under Z-number valued information is very scarce. In this paper we consider a Z-number valued multiple regression analysis and its application to a real-world decisionmaking problem. The obtained results show applicability of the proposed approach.
