cata: Analysis of Check-All-that-Apply (CATA) Data

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>. Methods are adapted to cluster consumers based on their product-related hedonic responses; for details, 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:10.48550/arXiv.2502.15945>.
