Visualization of sensory profiling data for performance monitoring

Simple graphical techniques can be utilized to investigate the performance of individual assessors and to detect individual differences among assessors in a sensory panel. By visualizing different type of information in a set of various plots the panel leader can extract relevant information without the need of extensive knowledge in statistics. The joint information content gained from the plots can then be used as a basis for selective training in order to improve performance of single assessors and the panel as a whole.
