Abstract:
Interval-valued data are a special symbolic data, which contains rich information. The prediction of interval-valued data is a challenging task. In terms of predicting interval-valued data, machine learning algorithms typically consider mean regression, which is sensitive to outliers and may lead to unreliable results. As an important complement to mean regression, in this paper, a quantile regression artificial neural network based on a center and radius method (QRANN-CR) is proposed to address this problem. Numerical studies have been conducted to evaluate the proposed method, comparing with several traditional models, including the interval-valued quantile regression, the center method, the MinMax method, and the bivariate center and radius method. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed QRANN-CR model is an effective tool for predicting interval-valued data with higher accuracy and is more robust than the other methods. A real data analysis is provided to illustrate the application of QRANN-CR.
