Considerations on the Use of FDA Methods in Statistical Inference with Fuzzy Data
摘要
We consider the prospects of Functional Data Analysis (FDA) methods for statistical inference based on fuzzy data. To make the FDA-based reasoning efficient, we introduce another representation of fuzzy numbers than the traditionally used one, namely ICr functions. To show that the suggested approach can be effective, we propose a new test designed in the spirit of FDA methods, which has been shown to have good statistical properties.
