“…• to classify fuzzy data (see, for instance, Coppi et al [1], Ferraro and Giordani [2] and Guillaume et al [3]), • to obtain some limit and probabilistic results for random fuzzy numbers (see, for instance, Colubi et al [4], Molchanov [5], Terán [6,7], Quang and Thuan [8], Aletti and Bongiorno [9]), • in optimization problems (see, for instance, Abbasbandy and Asady [10], Abbasbandy and Amirfakhrian [11], Prochelvi et al [12], Báez-Sánchez et al [13], Bana and Coroianu [14], Bera et al [17], Coroianu [15], Coroianu et al [16]) • and especially in performing many statistical analyses (see, for instance, Näther [18,19], Körner and Näther [20], Körner [21], García et al [22], Montenegro et al [23,24], Gil et al [25], Coppi et al [26], González-Rodríguez et al [29,30,31], Ferraro et al [27], Ferraro and Giordani [28], Ramos-Guajardo and Lubiano [32], Sinova et al [39]). In the literature on fuzzy numbers and more general fuzzy sets, several metrics have been suggested (see, for instance, Puri and Ralescu [33], Klement et al [34]).…”
