Abstract

This study explores the use of fuzzy probability distributions in data analysis under uncertain conditions, with a specific focus on their implementation in evaluating call center customer satisfaction. Traditional probability models rely on precise parameters, often failing to account for the inherent variability and subjectivity present in real-world data. In contrast, fuzzy probability distributions, which integrate fuzzy logic principles, offer a more adaptable and realistic framework for addressing such complexities. A comparative analysis between classical and fuzzy models was conducted to evaluate their effectiveness in capturing variability and interpreting outcomes accurately. The results demonstrated that fuzzy probability distributions outperform classical approaches in representing uncertainty and providing meaningful insights. Using a hypothetical dataset, customer satisfaction levels were modeled, analyzed, and visualized through fuzzy inference systems. This approach illustrated the practical strength of fuzzy methods in data-driven decision-making processes. The findings of the study reveal that the fuzzy inference model not only achieves a higher mean satisfaction level but also increases the probability of obtaining desirable results. These advantages underscore the flexibility and precision of fuzzy data analysis in handling uncertainty. However, the study also identifies challenges associated with this approach, such as computational complexity and the nuanced interpretation of fuzzy solutions. Addressing these limitations will require further advancements in theoretical frameworks and the development of enhanced computational tools. Additionally, the integration of improved visualization techniques could significantly enhance the usability of fuzzy models for diverse applications. This research emphasizes the effectiveness of fuzzy probability distributions in managing uncertainty and facilitating informed decision-making across various fields. It advocates for future interdisciplinary investigations to expand the theoretical foundation of fuzzy models, identify broader applications, and improve their accessibility and efficiency. Overall, the work highlights the potential of fuzzy logic as a transformative tool in modern data analysis and uncertainty management.

Keywords: Fuzzy probability distributions, uncertainty modelling, data analysis, customer satisfaction, fuzzy logic, membership functions, decision-making, comparative analysis, computational frameworks
