Fuzzy PLS Path Modeling: A New Tool For Handling Sensory Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
In sensory analysis a panel of assessors gives scores to blocks of sensory attributes for profiling products, thus yielding a three-way table crossing assessors, attributes and products. In this context, it is important to evaluate the panel performance as well as to synthesize the scores into a global assessment to investigate differences between products. Recently, a combined approach of fuzzy regression and PLS path modeling has been proposed. Fuzzy regression considers crisp/fuzzy variables and identifies a set of fuzzy parameters using optimization techniques. In this framework, the present work aims to show the advantages of fuzzy PLS path modeling in the context of sensory analysis.

Using PLS path modeling in new technology research: updated guidelines
Purpose – Partial least squares (PLS) path modeling is a variance-based structural equation modeling (SEM) technique that is widely applied in business and social sciences. Its ability to model composites and factors makes it a formidable statistical tool for new technology research. Recent reviews, discussions, and developments have led to substantial changes in the understanding and use of PL...
متن کاملUse of Partial Least Squares as a Theory Testing Tool - an Analysis of Information Systems Papers
Motivated by recent critique toward partial least squares path modeling (PLS), we present a research question if the PLS method, as used currently, is at all an appropriate tool for theory testing. We briefly summarize some of the recent critique of the use of PLS in IS as a theory testing tool. Then we analyze the results of 12 PLS analyzes published in leading IS journals testing if these mod...
متن کاملSensory Acceptability Modeling of Pistachio Green Hull’s Marmalade using Fuzzy Approach
The prediction of product acceptability is often an additive effect of individual fuzzy impressions developed by a consumer on certain underlying attributes characteristic of the product. In this paper, we present the development of a data-driven fuzzy-rule-based approach for predicting the overall sensory acceptability of pistachio green hull’s marmalade. The model was formulated using the Tak...

متن کاملA nonlinear PLS path modeling based on monotonic B-spline transformations
INTRODUCTION PLS path modeling is widely used in marketing applications. It is based on linear equations. However, in practical applications, many relations cannot be regarded as linear. For example, the relations between satisfaction and its attributes are nonlinear (Mittal et al., 1998). In this paper, we present a two step approach in order to include nonlinear relationships between manifest...
