Some Topics in Procrustes Analysis applied to Sensometrics

The book "Some Topics in Procrustes Analysis applied to Sensometrics" offers a comprehensive analysis of Procrustes analysis, which has been studied since the second half of the 20th century. It highlights the challenges that arise when estimating missing values and presents new approaches to improve estimation algorithms in generalized Procrustes analysis. The author, Eric Ferreira, examines the effects of hypothetical values on the estimation of missing cells and introduces a decision-making methodology that enables statistical inference. This methodology is illustrated through practical experiments and simulations, emphasizing the applicability of the concepts in real-world scenarios. The book is aimed at professionals and students in the fields of mathematics and natural sciences who seek a deeper understanding of Procrustes analysis and its applications in sensometrics.
