Abstract

This work focus on the least square method to fit a fuzzy function to longitudinal data given by fuzzy numbers. In order to consider the intrinsic correlation of longitudinal data, we assume that there exits a linear relation among the involved fuzzy numbers that arises from the concept of a joint possibility distribution. We propose a numerical method to solve a fuzzy least square problem taking into account this linear correlation. To this end, we extend the classical least square method by means of the sup-J extension principle, which consists of a generalization of Zadeh's extension principle. Finally, we use our proposal method to fit a longitudinal dataset. (AU)
