This book offers a comprehensive approach to modelling visual behaviour in marketing research, particularly through the lens of various types of Hidden Markov Models, including a new linguistic pattern-based version. It explores the critical role of visual behaviour in customer decision-making processes. By elaborating on the methodology of applying Hidden Markov Models to eye-tracking data, the author provides a structured approach to analysing visual processing in marketing contexts.
Readers will gain a better understanding of how visual behaviour influences marketing effectiveness, supported by detailed modelling techniques and real-world eye-tracking experiments. The book presents a unique integration of linguistic patterns based on fuzzy sets with Hidden Markov Models, enhancing modelling flexibility and the understanding of customer behaviour. Additionally, it includes a scientific modelling lifecycle focused on employing various types of Hidden Markov Models in an eye-tracking studies and their practical applications in marketing research.
Aimed at marketing researchers, data scientists, and professionals, this book provides valuable insights into advanced analytical techniques, fostering a deeper understanding of customer visual behaviour.
