Book excerpt: Regression analysis is a relatively simple yet extremely useful and widely employed tool for determining relationship between some variables on the basis of some observed values taken by these variables. Fuzzy regression analysis has been recently deviced to accomodate in the framework of regression analysis vaguely specified data which are omnipresent in many applications, notably in all areas where human judgements are used. Fuzzy sets theory provides here proper tools. This book is a collection of papers written by virtually all major contributors to fuzzy regression. Its main issue is that vague, imprecise, etc. data may now be used in regression analysis. This is new. Apart from this it gives an extensive coverage of the whole field of fuzzy regression, both in a strictly mathematical and applicational perspective. Most approaches are algorithmic, and can be readily implemented. Information on software is provided.
