A technique of quantifying three-way data obtained from subjective evaluation is proposed. Fuzzy subsets are defined in the model parameter space by mapping all personal data into the parameter space after the average model from the average data is constructed. This is a new approach that differs from the traditional fuzzy statistical analysis including the fuzzy quantification techniques. In this paper, this technique is applied to the quantification method of type 1, and a new type of quantification model is proposed. The method of inferring the combination of design elements from evaluations is also considered based on the obtained fuzzy quantification model.
