  • Abstract

    The multiple linear regression model is an important tool for investigating relationships between several response variables and some predictor variables. The primary interest is in inference about the unknown regression coefficient matrix. In this paper, we propose to combine and compare multiple linear regression, bootstrapping and fuzzy regression methods to build alternative methods. We formalize this extension and prove its validity. A real data example and two simulated data examples, which offer some finite sample verification of our theoretical results are provided. The results, based on significant value and average width showed alternative methods produce better results than multiple linear regressions (MLR) model.
