| Kursusindhold | |||||||||||||||||||
| The students will learn to assess statistical power and test sensitivity for different sensory methods in real tests and using pre-test simulations. Different multivariate data analysis methods and the fields of applications within sensory science will be presented and discussed with hands-on exercises. Theoretical aspects and exercises on factorial experimental designs, reliability of sensory testing methods - including descriptive analysis, discrimination testing, Thurstonian modelling, Signal Detection Theory, temporal methods, sequential profiling, rapid sensory analysis methods and hybrid methods in consumer research - will be presented, discussed and assessed for their merits and shortcomings in R&D and QC. Knowledge: - Overview over advanced analytical and affective sensory test methods, their scopes and applications within sensory and consumer science Skills: - Demonstrate knowledge on experimental sensory test designs and data analysis by univariate and multivariate methods - Know the applications and limitations of different statistical analyses - Evaluate the selection of test methods in relation to sensory and consumer test objectives - Can correctly interpret results of a sensory experiment - Working knowledge of different statistical software programs - Experience with advanced sensory test methods for product quality evaluation Competences: - Evaluate the sensory test objective in relation to selecting the appropriate test method - Reflect over sensory methods and data analysis tools in realistic sensory and consumer evaluation situations | |||||||||||||||||||
