A reciprocal matrix approach to the analysis of hand-felt softness of facial tissues
Source abstract
Abstract
Previous studies of household tissue softness based on the hand-felt approach used n2 or n-1 paired comparisons and ranking methods to distinguish the order of the samples. However, subjective perceptions and objective sample deviations could not easily be excluded. As an alternative, we used a reciprocal matrix analysis, a paired-comparison method to the n(n-1)/2 power, and found it capable of compensating for the biases of testers and samples and generating a more reasonable and robust ranking. We also were able to effectively quantify hand-felt softness of the samples by calculation of weighting eigenvectors. The proposed pretest training materials and method effectively enhanced the perceptive abilities of the examiners. The experience gained in the process can be used to strengthen standard test procedures and establish professional panels to evaluate hand-felt softness.
