Multiobjective fuzzy regression with central tendency and possibilistic properties

A multiobjective fuzzy regression model (MOFR) is developed. This MOFR model combines central tendency and possibilistic properties of statistical and fuzzy regressions and overcomes several shortcomings of these two approaches. A new class of distance measure for two intervals that takes into account all the points in both intervals is introduced. The methodology is illustrated by numerical examples.
