M3 {FuzzyStatTra}

M3 dataset

Description

M3 is a matrix of dimension 69 x 4 containing 69 trapezoidal fuzzy rating responses, each of which is characterized by its four values inf0,inf1,sup1,sup0. The data correspond to the well-known questionnaire TIMSS-PIRLS2011. This questionnaire was adapted to allow a double-type response, namely, the original Likert and a fuzzy rating scale-based (to simplify, trapezoidal). The questionnaire was conducted on 69 fourth grade students from Colegio San Ignacio (Oviedo-Asturias, Spain). Trapezoidal fuzzy rating responses to the Question M3 "Mathematics is harder for me than any other subject" are collected in this dataset.
