Description
Summary:In this paper, rst a new notion of fuzzy random variables is introduced. Then, using classical techniques in Probability Theory, some aspects and results associated to a random variable (including expectation, variance, covariance, correlation coecient, etc.) will be extended to this new environment. Furthermore, within this framework, we can use the tools of general Probability Theory to dene fuzzy cumulative distribution function of a fuzzy random variable.
