چکیده

Hypothesis testing is one of the most significant facets of statistical inference, which like other situations in the real world is definitely affected by uncertain conditions. The aim of this paper is to develop hypothesis testing based on likelihood ratio test in fuzzy environment, where it is supposed that both hypotheses under study and sample data are fuzzy. The main idea is to employ Zadeh’s extension principle. In this regard, a pair of non-linear programming problems is exploited toward obtaining membership function of likelihood ratio test statistic. Afterwards, the membership function is compared with critical value of the test in order to assess acceptability of the fuzzy null hypothesis under consideration. In this step, two distinct procedures are applied. In the first procedure, a ranking method for fuzzy numbers is utilized to make an absolute decision about acceptability of fuzzy null hypothesis. From a different point of view, in the second procedure, membership degrees of fuzzy null hypothesis acceptance and rejection are first derived using resolution identity and then, a relative decision is made on fuzzy null hypothesis acceptance or rejection based on some arbitrary decision rules. Flexibility of the proposed approach in testing fuzzy hypothesis with vague data is presented using some numerical examples.

Testing 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.

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...

LINEAR 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 ...

Developing new methods to monitor phase II fuzzy linear profiles

In some quality control applications, the quality of a process or a product is described by the relationship between a response variable and one or more explanatory variables, called a profile. Moreover, in most practical applications, the qualitative characteristic of a product/service is vague, uncertain and linguistic and cannot be precisely stated. The purpose of this paper is to propose a ...
