I need to perform an analysis of variance on data from a consumer test. In this case not only the factor are fixed but even the responses. Does it matter? Could someone suggests me the right way to analyze such data please?
Thank you.
It is not clear to me what a "fixed" response is. Can you give an example?
For "fixed" response I mean that the values of the response (let's say for example the fruity intensity) are discrete, i.e. the panelist has to choose only between a fixed set of values/ranks (1-2-3-4-5). Generally, I performed ANOVA on chemical data which are "continuous", i.e. they could fall into a continuous range and not only in a certain rank.
I'm asking which is the proper way to statistically analyze these "fixed" data?
Maybe it does not matter and I can continue as always, or these data needed another approach?
