Abstract

This paper proposes a new method for uniformly minimum variance unbiased fuzzy point estimation. For this purpose we make use of a uniformly minimum variance unbiased estimator and we develop this new method for a fuzzy random sample ~X1,...,~Xn  is induced by  X1,,...,Xn  onthe same probability space.
