7 (fictitious) assessors sort and verbally describe 7 Beers using Projective Mapping.

Description

BeersProjectiveMapping: 7 (fictitious) assessors evaluated 7 Beers using Projective Mapping (with verbal description).

Usage

data("BeersProjectiveMapping")

Format

a list with 3 elements: 1) ProjectiveMapping: a matrix of dimensions 7 beers by 7*2 assessors-dimensions of the coordinates of the beers on the sheet of paper; 2) Vocabulary: a Beers (rows) by Assessors (columns) data.frame where each element of Vocabulary stores the words used by one assessor to describe a beer (words are separated with spaces); and 3) CT.vocabulary a matrix storing the I Products by N words (from the Vocabulary) contingency table, in CT.vocabulary the number at the intersection of a row (beer) and a column (word) is the number of assessors who used this word to describe that beer.

Details

First, Each assessor positioned the 7 beers on a sheet of paper according to the perceived similarity between the beers. For each assessor, the position of the beers was recorded from the X and Y coordinates. Second, the assessors were asked if they could describe each beer with some freely chosen descriptors. These descriptors are stored in a dataframe with 7 elements (one per assessor) where each element of the dataframe is a 7 component vector (one per beer) where each element stores the words used to describe a beer (words are separated with spaces).
