Multiple factor analysis was used to examine organoleptic coffee assessments such as aroma, aftertaste, flavor, acidity, balance, body, uniformity, sweetness, clean cup, and other organoleptic-related properties used in Coffee Quality Assessment. The Sensory analysis was performed using missing values (NA) scenarios with 5%, 10%, 20%, and 30% of NA. The results suggest that RI-MFA is robust to NA presence of and appears to be appropriate when sensory data are present. Simulation scenarios deleting or replacing values from real-world datasets could be a good strategy; different domains, samples, types of variables, and distributions could prove much closer to reality.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
