AI agent for statisticians

Sensory Panel Analysis Agent

A consistent sensory analysis in which unreliable panelists are identified and their effect on conclusions is shown.

Sensory Panel Analysis Agent: what goes in, what the agent does and what you get

What it does

A sensory session produces scores from 12 panelists and one of them rated everything the same, while another reversed the scale. This agent checks panelist agreement and replicate consistency first, using panel performance statistics. Then it runs the planned tests, such as analysis of variance and post hoc comparisons, and flags panelists or products that behave oddly. It reruns the analysis without the flagged panelists and compares the conclusions. If conclusions change, it reports both. It writes up the results with the test details. You approve the report. Edge case: when a product is only tested by some panelists, the analysis uses a design that allows incomplete data.

How it works

Follow the arrows from top to bottom. The orange dashed arrow is the loop: when a check fails, the agent goes back and tries again.

  1. Panel data exported
  2. Load scores and check data completeness
  3. Calculate panelist agreement and replicate consistency
  4. Is every panelist above the performance thresholds?If not: flag the panelists and note patterns such as scale reversal or no variation. Back to step 3.
  5. Run the planned tests on all data

How it decides

A panelist is flagged when agreement or replicate consistency falls below the thresholds. The conclusion is robust if it holds with and without flagged panelists.

  • Panelist agreement below the threshold: flag
  • Panelist gave the same score to every sample: flag no discrimination
  • Conclusion changes without flagged panelists: report as dependent
  • Missing scores over 10 percent: use an incomplete design analysis

Make it yours

Every agent is a starting point. You choose these settings for your own situation.

  • Performance thresholds
  • Tests to run
  • Significance level (default 0.05)
  • Panel size
  • Report template

What keeps you in control

It always asks you first

  • The sensory report
  • Any removal of a panelist from future panels

Hard limits

  • Never remove a panelist from the panel list
  • Never hide the all-data result

It stops when

  • Done: report approved
  • Stop: too few panelists after exclusion for the test

An example run

What happensIn a session with 12 panelists and 5 juices, panelist 7 had a negative correlation with the panel and panelist 4 gave 6 for every sample. The check failed for both. The agent compared analyses. With all data, juice C was higher in sweetness. Without those two, juice C and D were tied. It reported both. The scientist approved.
