FUZZY LINEAR REGRESSION ANALYSIS OF CELLULOSE HYDROLYSIS

Abstract
The dependence of enzymatic hydrolysis rate on the structural features of lignocellulosics, such as specific surface area, crystallinity index, and lignin content, has been examined. A model for this relationship has been proposed and linear regression based on fuzzy set theory, or the so-called fuzzy linear regression has been employed for estimation of model parameters. The resultant fuzzy model appears well suited for representing complex or ill-conceived processes, e.g., biological processes. This fuzzy model is essentially a quantitative translation of the human perception of the process.
