An Application of Fuzzy ANOVA on Field of Agricultural Machinery

Abstract

ANOVA is a statistical analysis test that addresses the significance of variances in the means of different populations. If the data includes imprecise or vagueness in the applied sciences, the classical ANOVA cannot be the solution. In which cases, fuzzy ANOVA based on fuzzy observations ought to be used and are particularly more suitable for such problems in contrast to ANOVA, Fuzzy ANOVA (FANOVA) uses fuzzy numbers and is a generalization of ANOVA. In recent years, however; particularly, fuzzy statistical methods have been put into use for the designing process of agricultural machinery. ANOVA for the studies that have been put out regarding literature, there is not a study present that uses the FANOVA method. Therefore, in this study, span, which is one of the foremost factors to be taken into consideration for the design of an agricultural machine to be developed for harvesting grainy products, on the max force that can be applied to a chestnut was evaluated and the results were assessed. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
