In this approach, first a new notion of fuzzy random variables is introduced. Then, the $\alpha$-level sets of the imprecise observations are transacted to extend the usual method of sign test. To do this, the concepts of fuzzy median and fuzzy sample median are defined.We also develop a well-known large sample property of the classical sample median. In addition, the test statistic is extended for investigating fuzzy hypothesis.

It developed a database for modeling using by multi-layer perceptron. In particular, the modeling process enjoyed three training algorithms: Bayesian Regularization (BR), Scaled Conjugate Gradient (SCG) and Levenberg Marquardt (LM). Model selection criteria based on the lowest error rate and data regression, using a trial and error approach. The results showed that models that greatly reduce the error have less generalizability. In the meantime, the BR algorithm with the data set design of 15-15-70 (for test, validation and training sections, respectively), has been used to reduce the error better than other algorithms, but improper generalizability. In contrast, the LM algorithm has better generalizability than the other two algorithms.
