Criteria for Panel Alignment
​

  2. Good agreement threshold (default 3) or fewer panelists had a crossover score greater than Panelist crossover (default 0).
  3. Good agreement threshold (default 3) or fewer panelists had a panelist p-value for product greater than Panelist p-value (default 0.25).
If all 3 criteria are not met, it is considered Panel Disagreement.
If neither alignment nor disagreement are detected in an attribute, the cell is left blank.



Criteria for Determining the # of Samples With Means > % of Scale
Panel product means that are > sample mean % value set (default 25%).

Criteria for Determining the # of Discriminating Panelists

On the Panelist Mean Scores tab, verify whether the means for every sample, for each attribute, for each panelists are less than Panelist Product Mean x the scale (default 15).

Criteria for Determining # of Panelists in Agreement

Number of panelists who have a Pearson’s Correlation Coefficient above the set Correlation threshold (default 0.70).
