English abstract:
Reliability analysis is one of the significant applications
of statistics. Many parametric and non-parametric
techniques are available for reliability estimation based on
precise life time observations, without considering the uncertainty
of individual observations. But life time observations
are not precise measurements but more or less fuzzy.
Therefore by considering life time measurements as precise
numbers we may lose information and get misleading results.
This study is aimed to present some non-parametric estimates
for reliability functions based on fuzzy life time data.

Keywords:
Characterizing function, Fuzzy number, Nonprecise data, Real measurement results
