weightedExpectedValue: Calculate the Weighted Expected Value of a Fuzzy Number

Description

The calculation of the so-called weighted expected value is one of possible methods to deffuzify a fuzzy number.

For \(w=0.5\) we get the ordinary expectedValue.

Usage

# S4 method for FuzzyNumber
weightedExpectedValue(object, w=0.5, ...)

Arguments

object

a fuzzy number

...

additional arguments passed to expectedInterval

w

a single numeric value in [0,1]

Value

Returns a single numeric value.

Details

The weighted expected value of \(A\) is defined as \(EV_w(A) := (1-w) EI_L(A) + w EI_U(A)\), where \(EI\) is the expectedInterval.
