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.
