Estimating Fuzzy Regression with Crisp Input-Output Using Quadratic Loss Support Vector Machine

Support vector machine(SVM) approach to regression can be found in information science literature. SVM implements the regularization technique which has been introduced as a way of controlling the smoothness properties of regression function. In this paper, we propose a new estimation method based on quadratic loss SVM for a linear fuzzy regression model of Tanaka's, and furthermore propose a estimation method for nonlinear fuzzy regression. This approach is a very attractive approach to evaluate nonlinear fuzzy model with crisp input and output data.
