The four main themes covered in the book are: (1) IndividualDifferences, (2) Measurement Levels; (3) Sensory-InstrumentalRelations, and (4) Time-Intensity Data Analysis.

The statistical methods discussed include Principle ComponentsAnalysis, Generalized Procrustes Analysis, MultidimensionalScaling, Redundancy Analysis, and Canonical Analysis.

This book will be a value to all professionals and studentsworking in the sensory studies
