Abstract

Statistical learning theory based on real-valued random samples has been regarded as a better theory on statistical learning with small sample. The key theorem of learning theory and bounds on the rate of convergence of learning processes are important theoretical foundations of statistical learning theory. In this paper, the theoretical foundations of the statistical learning theory based on fuzzy number samples are discussed. The concepts of fuzzy expected risk functional, fuzzy empirical risk functional and fuzzy empirical risk minimization principle are redefined. The key theorem of learning theory based on fuzzy number samples is proved. Furthermore, the bounds on the rate of convergence of learning processes based on fuzzy number samples are discussed.
