Panelist Feedback Analysis

Purpose

Plots summarising the scoring range for each judge on each of the samples and attributes.

Type of Panel Mean: Adjusted or Arithmetic. Arithmetic means are the well known means, calculated by summing the observations then dividing by the number of observations. Adjusted means, commonly called Least-Squares means (LSmeans) or Estimated Marginal Means (EMMs), use a regression model to calculate the means adjusting for the balance of the data.
Show results by: Should each individual plot be for a given attribute or a given product.
Y-axis Scale: Automatic or Manual. Automatic chooses the plotting range from the range of each attribute. Manual uses the plotting range you specified.
Y-axis min value: The smallest value that will appear on all plots when specifying the plotting range manually.
Y-axis max value: The largest value that will appear on all plots when specifying the plotting range manually.
Anonymise Assessors? Choose to replace the assessor names or not. There are options for randomly generated names or names from the assessor metadata.
Anonymise Products? Choose to replace the product names or not. There are options for randomly generated names or names from the product metadata.
Anonymise Attributes? Choose to replace the attribute names or not. There are options for randomly generated names or names from the attribute metadata.

The FEEDBACK ALL are line plots, either one plot for each product with panellist means plotted against the attributes, or one plot for each attribute with panellist means plotted against the products. The panel mean is also included. Note that while this information is plotted with lines, this is only to make the plots easier to follow.
The FEEDBACK plots are split by panellist and either plot for each product said panellist’s mean across attributes or for each attribute said panellist’s mean across products. The panel level mean is overlaid and the closer a panelist’s mean is to the overall panel, the closer to the panel consensus. Intervals of plus or minus the standard error of the mean are included, small intervals suggest closer agreement in scoring over replicated assessments.
If “Type of Panel Mean” was set to “Adjusted” then the panel means will be adjusted means from models of the form: Attribute = Product + Assessor + Replicate + Residuals or Attribute = Product + Assessor + Residuals if replications are not present.
