El. knyga: Analyzing Sensory Data with R

"Lź 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." Ringgold, Inc. Book News, February 2015 "a comprehensive and practical book written for sensory scientists. The book introduces techniques for the analysis of sensory data with a strong emphasis on multivariate analysis. Throughout the book, real data from a variety of sensory experiments are used to illustrate how to analyze sensory data appropriately using R. The examples used in the book emphasize a good understanding of the objective of the experiment, the nature of the data collected and its statistical notation, how to implement the appropriate method of analysis using R, and how to read the output and carefully interpret the results. Sensometrics is a dynamic and fast-moving field, yet books on how to analyze complicated sensory data are rare. This practical book is a valuable resource for scientists learning how to analyze sensory data appropriately. It can be used as a course textbook to teach new sensory scientists the full suite of existing statistical techniques, or as a reference handbook for the experienced sensory scientist seeking information on how to analyze a specific type of sensory data. well-organized, easy to read, and provides practical instruction in statistical techniques for analyzing sensory data using R."
