Propagating possibilistic and probabilistic variables through a mapping yields a fuzzy random variable. We propose a method to attach probability intervals to events pertaining to the output variable. We show that this method is consistent with classical approaches to fuzzy random variables and that the obtained probability interval is the mean value of the fuzzy probability defined by viewing ...

This paper studies an alternating renewal process when on-off times are random fuzzy variables. We provide a theorem concerning the long-term average expected service times of customers. Here, we do not use the α0-pessimistic value and the α0-optimistic value of fuzzy variables, we simulate the expected value of random fuzzy variables based on fuzzy simulation to calculate the long-term average...

The stochastic ordering of random variables is extended to the cases where the available data are imprecise quantities, rather than crisp. To do this, using some elements of fuzzy set theory, we suggest the fuzzy reversed hazard rate and fuzzy mean inactivity time functions and apply them to construct some new fuzzy stochastic orders for ranking fuzzy random variables. In addition, we study the...

In this paper, we construct fuzzy renewal processes involving fuzzy random variables. We first extend the renewal processes to the fuzzy renewal processes where interarrival times, rewards, and stopping times are all fuzzy random variables. According to these fuzzy renewal processes, we then extend some theorems of renewal processes to those in fuzzy renewal processes. These are elementary rene...

By dealing with interarrival times as exponentially distributed fuzzy random variables, a fuzzy random homogeneous Poisson process and a fuzzy random compound Poisson process are respectively defined. Several theorems on the two processes are provided, respectively.

A fuzzy random model of Combined Location Routing and Inventory Problem (CLRIP) has been presented with continuous review inventory policy in B2C distribution environment for the first time. Demands of customers and distribution centers are uncertain and have been assumed to be fuzzy random variables. To solve the model, first the expected value of fuzzy random variable and the possibilistic me...

In this paper, we simulate different types of random fuzzy variables to get some conclusions concerning fuzzy-valued random variables. This simulation has been carried out to illustrate certain limit results formalizing the convergence of the arithmetic mean of sample fuzzy data to the population mean (or expected value of the random fuzzy variable), like the well-known strong law of large numb...
