Abstract
Due to the important role as central summary measure of a fuzzy random variable (FRV), statistical inference procedures about the mean of FRVs have been developed during the last years. The R package SAFD (Statistical Analysis of Fuzzy Data) provides basic tools for elementary statistics with one dimensional Fuzzy Data (in the form of polygonal fuzzy numbers). In particular, the package contains functions for doing a bootstrap test for the equality of means of two or more FRVs. The corresponding algorithm will be described and applied to both real-life and simulated data.
