Abstract
Regression analysis, which includes any techniques for modeling and analyzing several variables, is a statistical tool that focuses in finding a relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. When this relationship is found, some values of parameters are determined which help a function to best fit in a set of data observations. In regression analysis, it is also interesting to characterize the variation of the depend variable around the independent ones. A regression problem can be formulated as a mathematical programming problem, where the objective is to minimize the difference between the estimated values and the observed values. This proposal provides a fuzzy solution to the problem that involves all particular -punctual- solutions provided by other methods. To clarify the above developments, a numerical example about the price mechanism of prefabricated houses is analyzed.
