This course forms a hands-on introduction to those statistical methods needed by a sensory and consumer scientist. Mainly based around the use of XLSTAT, attendees will gain practical experience using real-life examples and will be able to save their work to take away with a free copy of XLSTAT and XLSTAT-MX so they will be competent to start using their expertise from day 1 after the course. Attendees will also receive a 3 month license for Design Express - the powerful QI Statistics consumer trial design software and a number of specialised Excel spreadsheets.
