On Weighted Possibilistic Mean and Variance of Fuzzy Numbers

Robert Fullér, Péter Majlender, On Weighted Possibilistic Mean and Variance of Fuzzy Numbers. Fuzzy Sets and Systems 136, 363–374, 2003.

Abstract:

Dubois and Prade
defined an interval-valued expectation of fuzzy numbers,
viewing them as consonant random sets.
Carlsson and Full\'er defined an interval-valued
mean value of fuzzy numbers, viewing them
as possibility distributions. In this paper
we shall introduce the notation of weighted interval-valued
possibilistic
mean value of fuzzy numbers and investigate
its relationship to the interval-valued
probabilistic mean.
We shall also introduce the notations of
crisp weighted possibilistic
mean value, variance and covariance of fuzzy numbers,
which are consistent with
the extension principle.
Furthermore, we show that the weighted variance
of linear combination
of fuzzy numbers
can be computed in a similar manner as in probability theory.
