Discriminability and uncertainty in principal component analysis (PCA) of temporal check-all-that-apply (TCATA) data

John Castura/ February 1, 2022/ Peer-reviewed Paper/ 0 comments

Temporal check-all-that-apply (TCATA) data can be summarized and explored using principal component analysis (PCA). Here we analyze TCATA data on Syrah wines obtained from a trained sensory panel. We evaluate new and existing methods to explore the uncertainty in the PCA scores. To do so, we use the bootstrap procedure to obtain many virtual panels from the real panel’s data.
