OPTIMAL STATISTICAL TESTS BASED ON FUZZY RANDOM VARIABLES
Authors
Abstract:
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 of fuzzy test statistic and fuzzy critical value have been defined using the $alpha$ cuts (levels) of the fuzzy observations and fuzzy parameter.In order to make a decision as a fuzzy test, a well-known method is employed to compare the observed fuzzy test statistic and the fuzzy critical value.In this work, we focus on the case in which the fuzzy data are observations of a normal fuzzy random variable.The proposed approach is general so that it can be applied to other kinds of fuzzy random variables as well.Numerical examples, including a lifetime testing problem, are provided to illustrate the proposed optimal tests.

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 ...
full textRanking 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...

full textStatistical 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...

In this paper, the concepts of positive dependence and linearlypositive quadrant dependence are introduced for fuzzy random variables. Also,an inequality is obtained for partial sums of linearly positive quadrant depen-dent fuzzy random variables. Moreover, a weak law of large numbers is estab-lished for linearly positive quadrant dependent fuzzy random variables. Weextend some well known inequ...
