Before using the Ideal Profile data to improve the actual product, we need to validate this type of data!

validation of the ideal data
1. Are the consumers able to describe their ideal correctly ?
are the ideal descriptions random or do they make sense?
i l lid i
- internal validation (Worch et al., 2010b)
2. Are the consumers consistent in their descriptions?
are the ideal products described by consumers “potential ideals”? are the ideal products described by consumers potential ideals ? are the ideals in accordance with the other descriptions of the actual products?
- external validation

consistency of ideal data
- definition of the Ideal profile:
the ideal profile given by a consumer is the profile of a product, for which the particular sensory characteristics would maximize his appreciation of the type of particular sensory characteristics would maximize his appreciation of the type of product tested
h t h k f i t ?
- how to check for consistency?
the ideal should make the link between sensory and hedonic investigate the relationship between hedonic data and sensory profile, within the consumers/ideal product space

ideal space and preference
- the projection as illustrative of the variables of preference shows the
link between the ideal profile and the preference of the consumers:
thi li k i d th h th l ti ffi i t this link is measured through the correlation coefficient if the correlation between the preference of a product p and the ideal intensity of the attribute a is positive and strong, then the consumers who described their ideal profile with a strong intensity on a also appreciate p more than the other actual profile with a strong intensity on a also appreciate p more than the other actual products.

– Angel is a particular consumer who would have Angel as an ideal
the link between two ideal profiles is measured by the distance on the map two consumers are close if they share a “common” ideal and are separated if their ideals are different ideals are different hence, a consumer is close to an actual product p if his ideal profile is similar to the profile of p

consistency of the ideal data
- by definition, ideal is making the link between sensory and hedonic
- the link is measured here by the relationship between sensory and
hedonic, within the ideal space:
we expect that a consumer, who appreciated more the products he perceived as rather intense for an attribute a should describe his ideal profile as rather intense for a in other words, a consumer who appreciated more an actual product p should describe an ideal with similar characteristics then p
- in our case, this can be shown by the relationship of the same objects
(actual products) seen through the different tables (sensory and hedonic) within the ideal product space

conclusion
- through multivariate analysis, we’ve shown that the ideal data globally
are consistent (panel level)
th d i ti f th id l k th b t d h d i (b the description of the ideal makes the gap between sensory and hedonic (by definition) consumers who preferred the product of reference p also described an ideal with similar characteristics as p similar characteristics as p when a consumer has an ideal close to an actual product, he also indicates that he appreciates this actual product more than the others
- this consistence can be checked at the consumer level
- to finalise the validation, the hedonic power of the ideal profiles should
be checked
- once the data are considered valid they can be used for guidance on
- once the data are considered valid, they can be used for guidance on
improvement of the actual products
