Testing Fuzzy Hypotheses Using Fuzzy Data Based on Fuzzy Test Statistic
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of testing hypothesis when both the hypotheses and the available data are fuzzy. First, four different kinds of fuzzy hypotheses are defined. Then, a procedure is developed for constructing the fuzzy point estimation based on fuzzy data. Also, the concept of fuzzy test statistic is defined based on the α-cuts of the fuzzy null hypothesis and the α-cuts of the constructed fuzzy point estimation. Finally, by introducing a credit level, we propose a method to evaluate the fuzzy hypotheses of interest. The proposed method is employed to test the fuzzy hypotheses for the mean of a normal distribution, and the variance of a normal distribution. A practical example in lifetime testing is provided, to show the applicability of the proposed method in applied studies. c ©2011 World Academic Press, UK. All rights reserved.

TESTING STATISTICAL HYPOTHESES UNDER FUZZY DATA AND BASED ON A NEW SIGNED DISTANCE
This paper deals with the problem of testing statisticalhypotheses when the available data are fuzzy. In this approach, wefirst obtain a fuzzy test statistic based on fuzzy data, and then,based on a new signed distance between fuzzy numbers, we introducea new decision rule to accept/reject the hypothesis of interest.The proposed approach is investigated for two cases: the casewithout nuisance p...

A novel approach is proposed for the problem of testing statistical hypotheses about the fuzzy mean of a fuzzy random variable.The concept of the (uniformly) most powerful test is extended to the (uniformly) most powerful fuzzy-valued test in which the test function is a fuzzy set representing the degrees of rejection and acceptance of the hypothesis of interest.For this purpose, the concepts o...
متن کاملLINEAR HYPOTHESIS TESTING USING DLR METRIC
Several practical problems of hypotheses testing can be under a general linear model analysis of variance which would be examined. In analysis of variance, when the response random variable Y , has linear relationship with several random variables X, another important model as analysis of covariance can be used. In this paper, assuming that Y is fuzzy and using DLR metric, a method for testing ...
متن کاملFuzzy decision in testing hypotheses by fuzzy data: Two case studies
In testing hypotheses, we may confront with cases where data are recorded as non-precise (fuzzy) rather than crisp. In such situations, the classical methods of testing hypotheses are not capable and need to be generalized. In solving the problem of testing hypotheses based on fuzzy data, the fuzziness of the observed data leads to the fuzzy p-value. This paper has been focused to calculate fuz...
متن کاملTesting fuzzy hypotheses with vague data
The problem of testing fuzzy hypotheses in the presence of vague data is considered. A new method based on the necessity index of strict dominance (NSD) is suggested. An example hoe to apply the proposed test in statistical quality control is shown.
