Abstract

In this paper, we first introduce multiple adaptive spline regression (MARS) in which the response variables are fuzzy. Then we implement the MARS model on the collected data and compare the results with the least squares error method. We use it to study the relationship between people's awareness of cancer and their socioeconomic status. In this study, people's knowledge about cancer is expressed as fuzzy variables. We compare the results with one of the most common fuzzy regression methods, which indicates the superiority of the MARS model
