2 the margial possibility distributios of C Let A F be fuzzy umber with a γ- level set deoted by [A] γ = [a 1 (γ), a 2 (γ)], γ [, 1] ad let U γ deote a uiform probability distributio o [A] γ, γ [, 1] I possibility theory we ca use the priciple of expected value of fuctios o fuzzy sets to defie variace, covariace ad correlatio of possibility distributios Namely, we equip each level set of a possibility distributio (represeted by a fuzzy umber) with a uiform probability distributio, the apply their stadard probabilistic calculatio, ad the defie measures o possibility distributios by itegratig these weighted probabilistic otios over the set of all membership grades These weights (or importaces) ca be give by weightig fuctios A fuctio f : [, 1] R is said to be a weightig fuctio if f is o-egative, mootoe icreasig ad satisfies the followig ormalizatio coditio f(γ)dγ = 1 Differet weightig fuctios ca give differet (case-depedet) importaces to level-sets of possibility distributios I 29 we itroduced a ew defiitio of possibilistic correlatio coefficiet (see [2]) that improves the earlier defiitio itroduced by Carlsso, Fullér ad Majleder i 25 (see [1]) Defiitio ([2]) The f-weighted possibilistic correlatio coefficiet of A, B F (with respect to their joit distributio C) is defied by where ρ f (A, B) = ρ(x γ, Y γ ) = ρ(x γ, Y γ )f(γ)dγ (1) cov(x γ, Y γ ) var(xγ ) var(y γ ) ad, where X γ ad Y γ are radom variables whose joit distributio is uiform o [C] γ for all γ [, 1], ad cov(x γ, Y γ ) deotes their probabilistic covariace I other words, the f-weighted possibilistic correlatio coefficiet is othig else, but the f-weighted average of the probabilistic correlatio coefficiets ρ(x γ, Y γ ) for all γ [, 1] Cosider the case, whe A(x) = B(x) = (1 x) χ [,1] (x), for x R, that is [A] γ = [B] γ = [, 1 γ], for γ [, 1] Suppose that their joit possibility distributio is give by F (x, y) = (1 x y) χ T (x, y), where T = (x, y) R 2 x, y, x + y 1 } The we have [F ] γ = (x, y) R 2 x, y, x + y 1 γ }

3 Figure 1: Illustratio of joit possibility distributio F This situatio is depicted o Fig 1, where we have shifted the fuzzy sets to get a better view of the situatio I this case the f-weighted possibilistic correlatio of A ad B is computed as (see [2] for details), ρ f (A, B) = 1 2 f(γ)dγ = 1 2 Cosider ow the case whe A(x) = B(x) = x χ [,1] (x) for x R, that is [A] γ = [B] γ = [γ, 1], for γ [, 1] Suppose that their joit possibility distributio is give by W (x, y) = maxx + y 1, } The we get 1 ρ f (A, B) = 2 f(γ)dγ = 1 2 We ote here that W is othig else but the Lukasiewitz t-orm, or i the statistical literature, W is geerally referred to as the lower Fréchet-Hoeffdig boud for copulas
