Indeterminate Likert scale: feedback based on neutrosophy, its distance measures and clustering algorithm by Ilanthenral Kandasamy,W. B. Vasantha Kandasamy,Jagan M. Obbineni,Florentin Smarandache Pdf
Likert scale is the most widely used psychometric scale for obtaining feedback. The major disadvantage of Likert scale is information distortion and information loss problem that arise due to its ordinal nature and closed format. Real-world responses are mostly inconsistent, imprecise and indeterminate depending on the customers’ emotions. To capture the responses realistically, the concept of neutrosophy (study of neutralities and indeterminacy) is used. Indeterminate Likert scale based on neutrosophy is introduced in this paper. Clustering according to customer feedback is an effectiveway of classifying customers and targeting them accordingly. Clustering algorithm for feedback obtained using indeterminate Likert scaling is proposed in this paper. While dealing real-world scenarios, indeterminate Likert scaling is better in capturing the responses accurately.
