Summary
This paper deals with the problem of the Bayesian estimation of the parameters of
probability distributions when the prior information about the possible values of these
parameters is imprecise. When fuzzy sets are used for the calculation of fuzzy Bayes
estimators required computational procedures may be very demanding. In order to
avoid these problems we propose to use optimal approximations of fuzzy numbers by
the shadowed sets introduced by Pedrycz. The use of these approximations dramatically
simplifies all required computations.
