METHODS, COMPUTER DEVICES, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR REGRESSION FROM INTERVAL TARGET VALUES

摘要

Methods, computing devices, and computer program products for regression from interval target values are provided. Training data having an interval output are read. An initial model is estimated. Representative values for the interval output are assigned using the initial model. A regression model is estimated using the representative values for the interval output. A determination is made whether the regression model converges. The step of assigning representative values for the interval output is iterated and the step of estimating the regression model using the representative values for the interval output iterated, in response to the regression model not converging. In response to the regression model converging, the regression model is output.
