Fuzzy EM (E2M) algorithm

A method for estimating the parameters in a parametric statistical model when the observations are fuzzy and are assumed to be related to underlying crisp realizations of a random sample. This method is based on maximizing the observed-data likelihood defined as the probability of the fuzzy data.

The toolbox provides functions for the following problems:

  • normal mean and variance estimation from trapezoidal fuzzy data;
  • multiple linear regression with crisp inputs and trapezoidal fuzzy outputs;
  • univariate finite normal mixture estimation from trapezoidal fuzzy data.
