Summary:This book combines material from our previous books "FP" ("Fuzzy Probabilities: New Approach and Applications, Physica-Verlag, 2003") and "FS" ("Fuzzy Statistics, Springer, 2004"), plus has about one third new results. From "FP" we have material on basic fuzzy probability, discrete (fuzzy Poisson, binomial) and continuous (uniform, normal, exponential) fuzzy random variables. From "FS" we included chapters on fuzzy estimation and fuzzy hypothesis testing related to means, variances, proportions, correlation and regression. New material includes fuzzy estimators for arrival and service rates, and the uniform distribution, with applications in fuzzy queuing theory. Also, new to this book, is three chapters on fuzzy maximum entropy (imprecise side conditions) estimators producing fuzzy distributions and crisp discrete/continuous distributions. Other new results are: two chapters on fuzzy ANOVA (one-way and two-way); random fuzzy numbers with applications to fuzzy Monte Carlo studies; and a fuzzy nonparametric estimator for the median.
