Applying the correct statistical techniques to sensory data is key to gaining a clear understanding of studies where there is a lot of natural variation. Failure to extract meaningful information from the data can lead to poor business and marketing decisions costing valuable resources. We routinely offer our training using EyeOpenR, XLSTAT, JMP®, ‘R’ (The R Project) and SPSS®.
