A Midpoint-Radius approach to regression with interval data

In this paper, a revisited interval approach for linear regression is proposed. In this context, according to the Midpoint-Radius (MR) representation, the uncertainty attached to the set-valued model can be decoupled from its trend. The estimated interval model is built from interval input-output data with the objective of covering all available data. The constrained optimization problem is addressed using a linear programming approach in which a new criterion is proposed for representing the global uncertainty of the interval model. The potential of the proposed method is illustrated by simulation examples.
