ESTIMATORS BASED ON FUZZY RANDOM VARIABLES AND THEIR MATHEMATICAL PROPERTIES

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 ...

OPTIMAL 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...

Ranking Fuzzy Random Variables Based on New Fuzzy Stochastic Orders

The stochastic ordering of random variables is extended to the cases where the available data are imprecise quantities, rather than crisp. To do this, using some elements of fuzzy set theory, we suggest the fuzzy reversed hazard rate and fuzzy mean inactivity time functions and apply them to construct some new fuzzy stochastic orders for ranking fuzzy random variables. In addition, we study the...

Special classes of mathematical programming models with fuzzy random variables

In this paper, we will discuss two special classes of mathematical programming models with fuzzy random variables. In the first model, a linear programming problem with fuzzy decision variables and fuzzy random coefficients is introduced. Then an algorithm is developed to solve the model based on fuzzy optimization method and fuzzy ranking method. In the second model, a fuzzy random quadratic s...

On Fuzzy Random Variables: Examples and Generalizations

There are random experiments in which the notion of a classical random variable, as a map sending each elementary event to a real number, does not capture their nature. This leads to fuzzy random variables in the Bugajski-Gudder sense. The idea is to admit variables sending the set Ω of elementary events not into the real numbers, but into the set M 1 (R) of all probability measures on the real...
