Bootstrap Techniques: A Valuable Tool in Statistical Hypothesis Testing about the Means of Fuzzy Random Variables
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this paper is to present in a concise and integrated way the bootstrap approach to statistical testing of hypotheses about means of fuzzy-valued random variables. We will deal with the one-, two-sample and ANOVA testing problems in a way that will allow us to see also some differences in approaching them, and also to conclude the suitability of bootstrap techniques in handling these problems.

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 ...
متن کاملOPTIMAL STATISTICAL TESTS BASED ON FUZZY RANDOM VARIABLES
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 کاملStatistical Inference about the Variance of Fuzzy Random Variables
The variance of a fuzzy random variable plays an important role as a measure of central tendency. Some of the main contributions in this topic are consolidated and discussed in this paper. In case of the hypothesis testing problem, bootstrap techniques (Efron and Tibshirani, 1993) have empirically been shown to be efficient and powerful. Algorithms to apply these techniques in practice and some...

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 approach to the multi-sample test of means with imprecise data
A bootstrap approach to the multi-sample test of means for imprecisely valued sample data is introduced. For this purpose imprecise data are modelled in terms of fuzzy values. Populations are identified with fuzzy-valued random elements, often referred to in the literature as fuzzy random variables. An example illustrates the use of the suggested method. Finally, the adequacy of the bootstrap a...
