a b s t r a c tThis paper, introduces the nearest weighted interval and point approximations of a fuzzy number, and then suggests weighted possibilistic moments about these points of fuzzy numbers. The possibilistic moments play an important role in fuzzy sets and systems, specifically in physics, mathematics and statistics. We provide the definition of the moments of fuzzy numbers as well as the definition of moments in probability theory; some of their applications are mentioned.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
