Comparing Generalized Procrustes Analysis and STATIS
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider a model for sensory profiling data including translation, rotation and scaling. We compare two methods to calculate an overall consensus from several data matrices: GPA and STATIS. These methods are briefly illustrated and explained under our model. A series of simulations to compare their performance has been carried out. We found significant differences in performance depending on the variance of random errors and on the dimensionality of the true underlying consensus. Therefore we investigated on the dimensionality of the calculated group averages. We found both methods to give too many dimensions compared to the true consensus. This finding is supported by some theoretical considerations. Finally we propose a combined approach which takes advantage of both methods and which gave better results in the simulations.

Methods to analyse sensory profiling data – a comparison
The analysis of sensory profiling demands skillful statistical methods to account for different variations that are unknown in other statistical appliances. Besides others, these are the different use of the descriptors by the assessors and the different use of the scales. The two most important approaches to cope with such data are given by Generalized Procrustes Analysis (GPA) and STATIS. Rec...
متن کاملThe STATIS Method
STATIS is a generalization of principal component analysis (PCA) whose goal is to analyze several sets of variables collected on the same set of observations. It is attributed to Escouffier (1980) and L’Hermier des Plantes (1976, see also Lavit et al., 1994), a related approach is known as procrustes matching by congruence coefficients in the English speaking community (Korth & Tucker, 1976). T...
متن کاملComparing efficiency of traditional and geometric morphometics in distinguishing populations of Alburnus doriae in the central and western basins of Iran
The present study aimed to compare traditional and geometric morphometrics to distinguish populations of Alburnus doriae in some Iranian basins. 132 specimens were collected and photographed. To remove effects of size, the general procrustes analysis was performed. Multivariate analysis of variance and procrustes analysis of variance were performed for traditional and geometric analyses. Both m...
متن کاملA simple alternative to Generalized Procrustes Analysis: Application to sensory profiling data
A statistical method for analysing sensory profiling data obtained by means of fixed vocabulary or free choice profiling is discussed. The most interesting feature of this method is that it involves only simple statistical treatment and can therefore be performed using standard software packages. The outcomes of this method are compared to those of Generalized Procrustes Analysis on the basis o...
