Abstract

“Data Is the New Oil of the Digital Economy”. With this quotation, how to explore data becomes keyword in economic. However, due to the fuzziness of the environment restriction on human and other resources, the data values may be imprecise or collected only in the form of intervals. That leads to the fuzziness of data. Especially, data in financial application may appear as fuzzy numbers such as in stock price prediction. There are several research on fuzzy lifetime data and other reliability problems but not on fuzzy financial data. In this paper, we focus on financial fuzzy data and propose a estimating method for fuzzy probability density functions. The method is expressed as an algorithm running on a simulated data set and a real data set of stock price.
