Statistical Methods in Food and Consumer Research continues to be
the only book to focus solely on the statistical techniques used in
sensory testing of foods, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and other
consumer products.
This new edition includes the most receent applications of
statistical methods, and features significant updates as well as
two new chapters.
Covering the application of techniques including R-index, the
Bayesian approach for sensory differences tests, and preference
mapping in addition to several other methodologies, this is the
comprehensive reference needed by those studying sensory evaluation
and applied statistics in agriculture and biological sciences.
Research professionals working with food, beverages, healthcare,
cosmetics, and other related areas will find the book a valuable
guide to the variety of statistical methods available.
Key Features:
* Provides comprehensive coverage of statistical techniques in
sensory testing
* Includes data compiled from real-world experiments
* Covers the latest in data interpretation and analysis
* Addresses key methods such as R-index, Thursonian Discriminal
Distances, group sequential tests, beta-binomial tests, sensory
difference and similarity tests, just-about-right data,
signal-to-noise ratio, analysis of cosmetic data, Descriptive
Analysis, claims substantiation and preference mapping
Researchers in all disciplines are becoming increasingly aware of
the importance of experimental designs and statistical methods in
their investigations. Use of a sound experimental design is crucial
to ensure reliability of data and subsequent findings from a study.
That is why a design for collecting date is at the core of
Statistics. Professor Damaraju Raghavarao has made fundamental
contributions to both the theory and application of the Design of
Experiments. This book is dedicated to him, and consists of twelve
papers on recent developments on different topics in the area of
Design of Experiments by distinguished researchers.
The book deals with the mechanism of tsunami related environmental
problems in India and the role that disaster management will play.
Natural disasters are a big challenge for the world community,
particularly for India, where the time has come for the government
to see that the local people living in the coastal areas must be
involved and that the disaster management awareness programme must
be compulsory in all schools. This book deals with all the aspects
of tsunamis and their management.
The speed and enormity of sudden disasters has forced man to react
rapidly when rescuing the people involved. Knowing the exact
location of the disaster site and the type of disaster are pivotal
to the success of the mission, as these determine the sort of aid
required. This book will provide a broad range of critical and
practical ideas and intensive information with the latest data
regarding disaster management at local, regional, national, and
international levels. The importance of warning systems, remote
sensing, GPS (Global Positioning System) and GIS (Geographical
Information System) cannot be overemphasized since, with highly
trained people understanding and using this equipment, many
thousands of lives can be saved in the future.
In the last 100 years, mankind has managed to destroy much of what
it took nature millions of years to create. At no point in history
has so much damage been done to our natural heritage in such a
short amount of time. If something needed to be done to stop this
crime against our future generations then now is the time to act,
as with every passing day we are speeding towards a self-inflicted
doomsday. What is killing our ecology and environment is generally
known. What we need are solutions and ways of implementing them.
This International Conference on Environment and Development:
Challenges and Opportunities, held on March 4-6, 2005 at the
University of Delhi, India, is one such step. The conference
presented the most up-to-date ideas on solving problems, both
ecological and environmental, which mankind has brought upon
itself.
Food Science and Technology: A Series of Monographs: Statistical
Methods in Food and Consumer Research focuses on the applications
of statistical methods and specialized techniques in food and
consumer research. The publication begins with a review of tools
for statistical inference, statistical sensory testing, and
analysis of variance and multiple comparison tests. Discussions
focus on principles of experimental design, psychophysical aspects
of sensory data, scales of measurement, distribution of sensory
data, sample size estimation, and analysis of variance. The text
then ponders on experimental design and incomplete block
experimental designs. The book touches on factorial experiments and
response surface designs and analysis. Topics include fitting of
response surface design considerations, simple confounding and
fractional factorial experiments, composite and rotatable designs,
and response surface analysis approach for sensory data. The
manuscript then examines shelf life testing experiments,
nonparametric statistical methods, and sensory difference tests and
selection of panel members. The publication is a dependable source
material for researchers, instructors, and applied statisticians.
