Statistical tests for fuzzy data
Statistical test decisions are frequently based on measurable functions t(x1, … , xn) of observed samples x1, … , xn.
Denoting by MT the set of all possible values of the test statistic T = t(X1, … , Xn), for hypothesis 
concerning the distribution of the observed stochastic quantity X, the set MT is usually decomposed into a region of acceptance of , denoted by A, and a so-called critical region C, i.e. MT = A ∪ C with A ∩ C = 
. The decision rule is the following.
Let x1, … , xn be the observed sample, then:
if t(x1, … , xn) ∈ A ⇒ is accepted if t(x1, … , xn) ∈ C = MT\A ⇒ is rejected.
The subsets A and C are constructed using the probability α of an error of the first type, i.e. the probability of rejecting a true hypothesis :
