ABOUT THE LECTURER
Anne Hasted began her career as an academic
statistician at Reading University but now runs Qi Statistics
Ltd which offers statistical training, data analysis and
consultancy support to research and industry and has developed
both SENPAQ and Design Express software packages, . Anne
has wide training and consultancy experience in both sensory
and consumer research and has an international reputation
for "user friendly" training.
Hands on Sensory Statistics, Preference
Mapping and Consumer Testing Course
Designed to give you the knowledge, practice
and the tools to do your own design, analysis and interpretation
of sensory data and to investigate the relationship with
consumer liking scores. Hands-on exercises, free XLSTAT
and SENPAQ software for participants to take away.
Course Presenter
Anne Hasted
Qi Statistics Ltd
This is a four day combined version of
our hands-on courses are now given regularly in Europe and
the USA. They are tailored for sensory and consumer scientists
who wish to learn the latest techniques and get practice
on real-life examples. Mainly based around the use of SENPAQ
and XLSTAT software, attendees will gain practical experience
using real-life examples and will be able to save their
work to take away with free copies of SENPAQ and 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 6 month license for Design Express - the powerful
Qi Statistics consumer trial design software and a number
of specialised Excel spreadsheets.
