A new distance ND1 between fuzzy numbers based on an averaged representative of a fuzzy number (Weighting Average Based on Levels, WABL) is proposed. Based on this distance a new least squares regression model is proposed. The proposed model is studied for a broad class of fuzzy numbers and class of functions the membership of which is formed on the basis of the template mu([.])(x) = max(0.1 - vertical bar x vertical bar(s)).
