After introducing and developing fuzzy set theory, a lot of studies have been done to combine statistical methods and fuzzy set theory. Thisworks, called fuzzy statistics, have been developed in some branches.
In this article we review essential works on fuzzy estimation, fuzzy hypotheses testing, fuzzy regression, fuzzy Bayesian statistics, and some relevant fields.
