Bayesian network considering the clustering of the customers in a hair salon

The service industry, which includes hair salons, currently accounts for almost 70% of Japan’s GDP(Gross Domestic Product). Although hair salons are frequently used, over the years, the industry has decreased in size. However, the number of hair-salon facilities and the number of hairdressers have b...

Although hair salons are frequently used, over the years, the industry has decreased in size.
