Goodness-of-fit Test for Membership Functions with Fuzzy Data

چکیده
Conventionally, we use a chi-square test of homogeneity to determine whether the cell probabilities of a multinomial are equal. However, this process of testing hypotheses is based on the assumption of two-valued logic. If we collect questionnaire data using fuzzy logic, i.e., we record the category data with memberships instead of with a 0-1 type, then the conventional test of goodness-of-fit will not work. In this paper, we present a new method, the fuzzy chi-square test, which will enable us to analyze those fuzzy sample data. The new testing process will efficiently solve the problem for which the category data are not integers. Some related properties of the fuzzy multinomial distribution are also described.

Logistic regression is a non-linear modification of the linearregression. The purpose of the logistic regression analysis is tomeasure the effects of multiple explanatory variables which can becontinuous and response variable is categorical. In real life there aresituations which we deal with information that is vague innature and there are cases that are not explainedprecisely. In this regard,...
متن کاملThe Comparison Between Goodness of Fit Tests for Copula
Copula functions as a model can show the relationship between variables. Appropriate copula function for a specific application is a function that shows the dependency between data in a best way. Goodness of fit tests theoretically are the best way in selection of copula function. Different ways of goodness of fit for copula exist. In this paper we will examine the goodness of fit test...

The Transactions in web data often consist of quantitative data, suggesting that fuzzy set theory can be used to represent such data. The time spent by users on each web page is one type of web data, was regarded as a trapezoidal membership function (TMF) and can be used to evaluate user browsing behavior. The quality of mining fuzzy association rules depends on membership functions and since t...
متن کاملA new method for fuzzification of nested dummy variables by fuzzy clustering membership functions and its application in financial economy
In this study, the aim is to propose a new method for fuzzification of nested dummy variables. The fuzzification idea of dummy variables has been acquired from non-linear part of regime switching models in econometrics. In these models, the concept of transfer functions is like the notion of fuzzy membership functions, but no principle or linguistic sentence have been used for inputs. Consequen...
متن کاملFuzzy Robust Regression Analysis with Fuzzy Response Variable and Fuzzy Parameters Based on the Ranking of Fuzzy Sets
Robust regression is an appropriate alternative for ordinal regression when outliers exist in a given data set. If we have fuzzy observations, using ordinal regression methods can't model them; In this case, using fuzzy regression is a good method. When observations are fuzzy and there are outliers in the data sets, using robust fuzzy regression methods are appropriate alternatives....
