✦ Synopsis
A method, the quantum measurement technique, is described which, by means of the conceptualisation of the information underlying a set of data which are considered as manifestations of a latent variable or theoretical construct, allows one to detect which are the data in sensorial analysis that, after obtaining a measure, do not ®t the formulated conception. The theoretical foundation, based on Rasch probability and item response theory (IRT), detects and quanti®es by means of the mis®ts the data that respond to unexpected scores. A detailed analysis of their residuals aids in ®nding the causes of these mis®ts. The technique is applied to the data of a tasting panel that form part of the sensory evaluation of virgin olive oil.
