Fuzzy sets in nonparametric Bayes regression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: A simple Bayesian approach to nonparametric regression is described using fuzzy sets and membership functions. Membership functions are interpreted as likelihood functions for the unknown regression function, so that with the help of a reference prior they can be transformed to prior density functions. The unknown regression function is decomposed into wavelets and a hierarchical Bayesian approach is employed for making inferences on the resulting wavelet coefficients.

Bayesian Aspects of Some Nonparametric Problems
We study the Bayesian approach to nonparametric function estimation problems such as nonparametric regression and signal estimation. We consider the asymptotic properties of Bayes procedures for conjugate (=Gaussian) priors. We show that so long as the prior puts nonzero measure on the very large parameter set of interest then the Bayes estimators are not satisfactory. More specifically, we sho...
متن کاملA MODIFICATION ON RIDGE ESTIMATION FOR FUZZY NONPARAMETRIC REGRESSION
This paper deals with ridge estimation of fuzzy nonparametric regression models using triangular fuzzy numbers. This estimation method is obtained by implementing ridge regression learning algorithm in the La- grangian dual space. The distance measure for fuzzy numbers that suggested by Diamond is used and the local linear smoothing technique with the cross- validation procedure for selecting t...
متن کاملFuzzy Robust Regression Analysis with Fuzzy Response Variable and Fuzzy Parameters Based on the Ranking of Fuzzy Sets
Robust regression is an appropriate alternative for ordinal regression when outliers exist in a given data set. If we have fuzzy observations, using ordinal regression methods can't model them; In this case, using fuzzy regression is a good method. When observations are fuzzy and there are outliers in the data sets, using robust fuzzy regression methods are appropriate alternatives....
متن کاملConsistent Sobolev regression via fuzzy systems with overlapping concepts
In this paper we propose a new nonparametric regression algorithm based on Fuzzy systems with overlapping concepts. We analyze its consistency properties, showing that it is capable to reconstruct an infinite-dimensional class of function when the size of the (noisy) dataset grows to infinity. Moreover convergence to the target function is guaranteed in Sobolev norms so ensuring uniform converg...
متن کاملWavelet Estimators in Nonparametric Regression: A Comparative Simulation Study
Wavelet analysis has been found to be a powerful tool for the nonparametric estimation of spatially-variable objects. We discuss in detail wavelet methods in nonparametric regression, where the data are modelled as observations of a signal contaminated with additive Gaussian noise, and provide an extensive review of the vast literature of wavelet shrinkage and wavelet thresholding estimators de...
