cata - Analysis of Check-All-that-Apply (CATA) Data
Package contains functions for analyzing
check-all-that-apply (CATA) data from consumer and sensory
tests. Cochran's Q test, McNemar's test, and Penalty-Lift
analysis are provided; for details, see Meyners, Castura & Carr
(2013) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2013.06.010>. Cluster analysis
can be performed using b-cluster analysis, then evaluated using
various measures; for details, see Castura, Meyners, Varela &
Næs (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2022.104564>. Consumers can
also be clustered on their product-related hedonic responses;
see Castura, Meyners, Pohjanheimo, Varela & Næs (2023)
<doi:10.1111/joss.12860>. Permutation tests based on the
L1-norm methods are provided; for details, see Chaya, Castura &
Greenacre (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2025.105639>.
