New statistical analysis on marketing research with fuzzy data

Abstract

This research proposes new statistical methods for marketing research and decision making. The study employs a soft computing technique and a new statistical tool to evaluate people`s thinking. Because the classical measurement system has difficulties in dealing with the non-real valued information, the study aims to find an appropriate measurement system to overcome this problem. The main idea is to decompose the data into a two-dimensional type, centroid and its length (area). The two-dimensional questionnaires this study proposes help reaching market information.
