A novel depreciation approach in an uncertain environment: interval type-2 fuzzy sets in the maritime industry

Abstract:
This study aims to propose a novel model for the determination of depreciation in an environment of uncertainty. In the study, amortization methods were modified through interval type-2 fuzzy, and a new approach was proposed to help investors make decisions in an environment of cash flow uncertainty. We provide options among different depreciation alternatives for the future investment decisions of maritime companies through the revision of the straight-line depreciation method and the double-declining balance depreciation method. The fuzzy depreciation alternatives we suggest in our study are not only suitable for maritime companies, but also companies in different industries.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.

Decision Making: P-value Method
First, a specific claim about the population parameter is proposed. The claim is based on the research question and is stated in a simple form. Further, an opposing statement to the claim is also stated. These statements can act as null and alternative hypotheses: a null hypothesis would be a neutral statement while the alternative hypothesis can...
