چکیده

It is well known that in decision making under uncertainty, while we are guided by a general (and abstract) theory of probability and of statistical inference, each specific type of observed data requires its own analysis. Thus, while textbook techniques treat precisely observed data in multivariate analysis, there are many open research problems when data are censored (e.g., in medical or bio-statistics), missing, or partially observed (e.g., in bioinformatics). Data can be imprecise due to various reasons, e.g., due to fuzziness of linguistic data. Imprecise observed data are usually called coarse data. In this chapter, we consider coarse data which are both random and fuzzy. Fuzziness is a form of imprecision often encountered in perception-based information. In order to develop statistical reference procedures based on such data, we need to model random fuzzy data as bona fide random elements, i.e., we need to place random fuzzy data completely within the rigorous theory of probability. This chapter presents the most general framework for random fuzzy data, namely the framework of random fuzzy sets. We also describe several applications of this framework.

RANDOM FUZZY SETS: A MATHEMATICAL TOOL TO DEVELOP STATISTICAL FUZZY DATA ANALYSIS

Data obtained in association with many real-life random experiments from different fields cannot be perfectly/exactly quantified.hspace{.1cm}Often the underlying imprecision can be suitably described in terms of fuzzy numbers/\values. For these random experiments, the scale of fuzzy numbers/values enables to capture more variability and subjectivity than that of categorical data, and more accur...

Strong Laws of Large Numbers for Random Upper-semicontinuous Fuzzy Sets

In this paper, we concern with SLLN for sums of independent random upper-semicontinuous fuzzy sets. We first give a generalization of SLLN for sums of independent and level-wise identically distributed random fuzzy sets, and establish a SLLN for sums of random fuzzy sets which is independent and compactly uniformly integrable in the strong sense. As a result, a SLLN for sums of independent and ...

Strong laws of large numbers for arrays of rowwise independent random compact sets and fuzzy random sets

In this paper we obtain some strong laws of large numbers (SLLNs) for arrays of rowwise independent (not necessary identically distributed) random compact sets and fuzzy random sets whose underlying spaces are separable Banach spaces. © 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

An approach to generalize laws of large numbers for fuzzy random variables

The formulation of strong and weak laws of large numbers for fuzzy random variables based on variance is given. The concept of the variance of fuzzy random variables, introduced by K1 orner (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 92 (1997) 83) and by Feng (Fuzzy Sets and Systems 120 (2001) 487) demonstrates its e2ciency. c © 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.

Comparing Fuzzy Sets and Random Sets to Model the Uncertainty of Fuzzy Shorelines

This paper addresses uncertainty modelling of shorelines by comparing fuzzy sets and random sets. Both methods quantify extensional uncertainty of shorelines extracted from remote sensing images. Two datasets were tested: pan-sharpened Pleiades with four bands (Pleiades) and pan-sharpened Pleiades stacked with elevation data as the fifth band (Pleiades + DTM). Both fuzzy sets and random sets mo...

ESTIMATORS BASED ON FUZZY RANDOM VARIABLES AND THEIR MATHEMATICAL PROPERTIES

In statistical inference, the point estimation problem is very crucial and has a wide range of applications. When, we deal with some concepts such as random variables, the parameters of interest and estimates may be reported/observed as imprecise. Therefore, the theory of fuzzy sets plays an important role in formulating such situations. In this paper, we rst recall the crisp uniformly minimum ...
