ABSTRACT

The basic statistical techniques presented in Chapter 13 are all that would be required to

analyze the results of most sensory tests. However, when the objectives of the study go

beyond simple estimation or discrimination, then more sophisticated statistical methods

may need to be applied. This chapter presents some of the more common of these

advanced techniques. The computational complexity of the methods makes hand calcu-

lation impractical. It is assumed that the reader has access to computer resources capable

of performing the necessary calculations.
