An introduction to fuzzy methods for PhD students and early career researchers

An introduction to fuzzy methods for PhD students and early career researchers By Dr. Naser Valaei Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool, UK Organized by Faculty of Business and Law Taylor's University Malaysia Unlike conventional quantitative methods in social sciences, research such as system of regression and multivariate procedures which are mostly based on frequency and consistency thresholds, the basis of fuzzy set analysis is the fact that there is no “single correct answer” to draw conclusion from the data analysis. Indeed, fuzzy sets fill the gap between qualitative and quantitative methods of measurement. This workshop aims to introduce fuzzy methods such as Fuzzy QCA and Fuzzy TOPSIS for PhD students and early career researchers.
