In FuzzyResampling: Resampling Methods for Triangular and Trapezoidal Fuzzy Numbers

#' V(alue)A(mbiguity)F(uzziness) resampling method for triangular and trapezoidal fuzzy numbers
#'
#' @description
#' `VAFMethod` returns the secondary (bootstrapped) sample and uses the resampling
#' scheme which does not change the values, ambiguities and fuzziness of the fuzzy variables from
#'  the initial sample (the VAF method, see (Grzegorzewski et al., 2020)).
#'
#'
#' @details
#' The initial sample should consist of triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers, given as a single vector or a whole matrix.
#' In each row, there should be a single fuzzy number in one of the forms:
#' \enumerate{
#'  \item left end of the support, left end of the core, right end of the core, right end of the support, or
#'  \item left increment of the support, left end of the core, right end of the core, right increment of the support.
#' }
#' In this second case, the parameter \code{increases=TRUE} has to be used.
#'
#' The resampling procedure produces \code{b} fuzzy values.
#' During the first step, the fuzzy value from the initial sample is randomly chosen (with repetition).
#' Then the new fuzzy variable, which preserves the value,  ambiguity and fuzziness of the old one, is randomly created.
#' If the parameter \code{b} is not specified, it is equal to the length of the initial sample.
#' The output is given in the same form as the initial sample.
#'
#'
#' @param initialSample Initial sample of triangular or trapezoidal fuzzy numbers.
#'
#' @param b The number of fuzzy values in the resampled (secondary) sample.
#' If this parameter is not specified, the number of values in the initial sample is used.
#' The parameter should be integer value more than 0.
#'
#'
#' @param increases If \code{TRUE} is used, then the initial sample should consist of the fuzzy numbers in the form:
#'  left increment of the support, left end of the core, right end of the core,
#' right increment of the support. Otherwise, the default value \code{FALSE} is used and the fuzzy numbers should be given in the form:
#' left end of the support, left end of the core, right end of the core,
#' right end of the support.
#'
#' @return This function returns matrix with \code{b} rows of double values.
#' In each row, there is a single resampled fuzzy number.
#' These fuzzy numbers have the same form as the values from the initial sample depending on the provided parameter \code{increases}.
