Analyzing Customers in E-Commerce Using Dempster-Shafer Method

This research explores the analysis of consumer sentiment in the context of e-commerce by applying the sophisticated Dempster-Shafer method. We started with the collection of more than 20,000 consumer reviews from various leading e-commerce platforms and continued with a detailed data pre-processing stage to obtain a clean and structured dataset. Next, we leverage the Dempster-Shafer method to represent and combine information from multiple sources, addressing uncertainty in diverse consumer opinions. The results of the sentiment analysis show that the Dempster-Shafer method achieves an accuracy of around 85%, with good evaluation metrics. Additionally, this research provides insight into the factors that influence consumers' views of products or services in the growing e-commerce context. The literature review also reveals the potential application of the Dempster-Shafer method in other aspects of e-commerce business, such as risk management and consumer trust. This research highlights the contribution of the Dempster-Shafer method in addressing uncertainty and complexity in consumer sentiment analysis, yielding a deep understanding of consumer perceptions, and enabling more accurate decision making in a dynamic e-commerce context. This research also provides a foundation for further development in consumer sentiment analysis and the application of the Dempster-Shafer method in e-commerce.
