Abstract

A LARS-based method is proposed for constructing a fuzzy regression model. Peculiarities of the use of fuzzy regression analysis for medical diagnosis are considered. The method allows one to reduce the number of parameters of the model that exert influence on the predictable degree of nasal obstruction and to avoid the risk of “overtraining” of the model.
