On the benefits of industrial network: A new approach with market survey and fuzzy statistical analysis

Abstract

Making the most of the industrial network to reduce management costs and increase competitiveness has gained a lot of attention among enterprises lately. In traditional market research methods, the approach always puts its emphasis on the data of a single value without considering the complexity of human thoughts. Thus, it is the purpose of this paper to first define fuzzy mode, fuzzy expect value and fuzzy χ2 test. Then, a new market survey is proposed to develop a more efficient survey analysis to examine the characteristics of fuzzy questionnaire and sample material, A comparison between fuzzy χ2 test and traditional χ2 test will be carried on at the end. © 2005 IEEE.
