Description: Package contains functions for analyzing check-all-that-apply (CATA) data from consumer and sensory tests. Cochran's Q test, McNemar's test, and Penalty-Lift analysis are provided; for details, see Meyners, Castura & Carr (2013) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2013.06.010>. Cluster analysis can be performed using b-cluster analysis, then evaluated using various measures; for details, see Castura, Meyners, Varela & Næs (2022) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2022.104564>. Consumers can also be clustered on their product-related hedonic responses; see Castura, Meyners, Pohjanheimo, Varela & Næs (2023) <doi:10.1111/joss.12860>. Permutation tests based on the L1-norm methods are provided; for details, see Chaya, Castura & Greenacre (2025) <doi:10.1016/j.foodqual.2025.105639>.
