Taste Ratings of Japanese Rice Wine (Sake)

Description

Siotani et al. (1985) describe a study of Japanese rice wine (sake) used to investigate the relationship between two subjective ratings (taste and smell) and a number of physical measurements on 30 brands of sake.

Format

A data frame with 30 observations on the following 10 variables.

taste: mean taste rating
smell: mean smell rating
pH: pH measurement
acidity1: one measure of acidity
acidity2: another measure of acidity
sake: Sake-meter score
rsugar: direct reducing sugar content
tsugar: total sugar content
alcohol: alcohol content
nitrogen: formol-nitrogen content

Details

These data provide one example of a case where a multivariate regression doesn't benefit from having multiple outcome measures, using the standard tests. Barrett (2003) uses this data to illustrate influence measures for multivariate regression models.

The taste and smell values are the mean ratings of 10 experts on some unknown scale.
