An Intelligent Fuzzy Inference Approach to Pricing Strategy Classification in Large-Scale Retail Data: A Hybrid Explainable Pricing Strategy Intelligence (HEPSI) Framework Applied to the M5 Retail Dataset
This paper introduces the Hybrid Explainable Pricing Strategy Intelligence (HEPSI) framework, a fuzzy inference system applied to the M5 retail dataset that classifies pricing strategies into Penetration, Premium, and Dynamic categories based on economic drivers, offering a scalable and interpretable alternative to rigid optimization or black-box models.
