Produktbeschreibung

Choose the Proper Statistical Method for Your Sensory Data Issue

Analyzing Sensory Data with R gives you the foundation to analyze and interpret sensory data. The book helps you find the most appropriate statistical method to tackle your sensory data issue.

Covering quantitative, qualitative, and affective approaches, the book presents the big picture of sensory evaluation. Through an integrated approach that connects the different dimensions of sensory evaluation, you'll understand:
The reasons why sensory data are collectedThe ways in which the data are collected and analyzedThe intrinsic meaning of the dataThe interpretation of the data analysis results

Each chapter corresponds to one main sensory topic. The chapters start with presenting the nature of the sensory evaluation and its objectives, the sensory particularities related to the sensory evaluation, details about the data set obtained, and the statistical analyses required. Using real examples, the authors then illustrate step by step how the analyses are performed in R. The chapters conclude with variants and extensions of the methods that are related to the sensory task itself, the statistical methodology, or both.

Inhaltsangabe

Quantitative Descriptive Approaches: When panelists rate products according
to one single list of attributes. When products are rated according to one
single list of attributes. When products are rated according to several
lists of attributes. Qualitative Descriptive Approaches: When products are
depicted by comments. When two different products are put in various
experimental contexts. When products are grouped into homogeneous clusters.
When products are positioned onto a projective map. Affective Descriptive
Approaches: When products are solely assessed by liking. When products are
described by both liking and external information "independently." When
products are described by a mix of liking and external information.

Rezensionen

"Lê and Worch present students, academics, researchers, and statisticians with a quantitative, qualitative, and effective approach to sensory evaluation. The authors have organized the bulk of their text in three sections, devoted to quantitative descriptive approaches, qualitative descriptive approaches, and affective approaches, in turn. Individual chapters within these sections cover a variety of subjects, such as product rating according to a single list of attributes, product rating when depicted by comments, and product rating when solely assessed by liking."
