Testing statistical hypotheses based on fuzzy confidence intervals

چکیده
Abstract: A fuzzy test for testing statistical hypotheses about an imprecise parameter is proposed for the case when the available data are also imprecise. The proposed method is based on the relationship between the acceptance region of statistical tests at level β and confidence intervals for the parameter of interest at confidence level 1 − β. First, a fuzzy confidence interval is constructed for the fuzzy parameter of interest. Then, using such a fuzzy confidence interval, a fuzzy test function is constructed. The obtained fuzzy test, contrary to the classical approach, leads not to a binary decision (i.e. to reject or to accept the given null hypothesis) but to a fuzzy decision showing the degrees of acceptability of the null and alternative hypotheses. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the theoretical results, and show the possible applications in testing hypotheses based on fuzzy observations.

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 ...

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...
متن کاملBootstrap Statistical Inference for the Variance Based on Fuzzy Data
Abstract: The bootstrap is a simple and straightforward method for calculating approximated biases, standard deviations, confidence intervals, testing statistical hypotheses, and so forth, in almost any nonparametric estimation problem. In this paper we describe a bootstrap method for variance that is designed directly for hypothesis testing in case of fuzzy data based on Yao-Wu signed distance.
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.
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...
