x |
numeric vector of data values. |

a character string specifying the alternative
hypothesis, must be one of |
mu |
a number specifying the value of the median of the data distribution hypothesized under the null hypothesis. |
tol |
data values within |
alpha |
if missing, calculate the fuzzy P-value. If provided, must be between zero and one, then calculate the fuzzy decision. |
conf.level |
confidence level. |
The fuzzy P-value is a random variable taking values in the interval (0, 1). Its cumulative distribution function (CDF) is continuous and piecewise linear. Hence its probability density function (PDF) is piecewise constant (a step function). If P is the fuzzy P-value, considered as a random variable, then the randomized test that rejects the null hypothesis at significance level alpha when P < alpha is an exact (randomized) test.
The fuzzy confidence interval is a fuzzy set, whose “membership function” is a function on the parameter space taking values in the interval [0, 1]. For rank tests, it is piecewise constant (a step function). In the regular case, it is one on a narrow interval and some number between zero and one on the part of some wider interval not contained in the narrower interval, zero outside the wider interval, and the values at jumps are the average of left and right limits. In this case, the fuzzy interval can be easily interpreted as a mixture of two confidence intervals (the narrow and the wide). When no ties are possible, the values at the jumps do not matter. Otherwise, they do. With ties, any or all of the intervals can be degenerate, and the values at the jumps are not related to left and right limits. If I(mu) is the membership function of the fuzzy confidence interval, then the randomized test that rejects the null hypothesis that mu is the true parameter value with probability 1 - I(mu) is an exact (randomized) test.
