Measurement of Continuous Quantities and their Statistical Evaluation

Measurement results of continuous quantities are always more or less imprecise. This imprecision is different from errors. The most suitable mathematical model to describe imprecision is by special fuzzy subsets of the set of real numbers R, called characterizing functions. The statistical analysis...

Description
Summary:Measurement results of continuous quantities are always more or less imprecise. This imprecision is different from errors. The most suitable mathematical model to describe imprecision is by special fuzzy subsets of the set of real numbers R, called characterizing functions. The statistical analysis of fuzzy measurement data is subject of this paper.
