FUZZY ESTIMATION OF THE PARAMETERS IN LOCATION-SCALE MODELS
K. Thiagarajah (USA)
|
Abstract: We consider probability density functions of some location-scale models where the parameters are uncertain. We model these uncertainties based on fuzzy number estimators discussed by Buckley [2]. In this paper we look at extreme value and log normal distributions, and show the computation of several fuzzy statistical measures (fuzzy mean, fuzzy variance, fuzzy skewness, fuzzy kurtosis, etc.) of the distributions through numerical examples. |
Keywords and phrases: confidence intervals, fuzzy statistical measures, extreme value distribution, log normal distribution. |
