Abstract

Taking advantage of the possibility of fuzzy test statistic falling in the rejection region, a statistical hypothesis testing approach for fuzzy data is proposed in this study. In contrast to classical statistical testing, which yields a binary decision to reject or to accept a null hypothesis, the proposed approach is to determine the possibility of accepting a null hypothesis (or alternative hypothesis). When data are crisp, the proposed approach reduces to the classical hypothesis testing approach.
