The objective of RedJade's Descriptive Analysis module is to achieve accurate conclusions about product differences. The purpose of Panel Performance is to determine whether any training or other changes should be made to enhance panel accuracy.


Panel Performance provides a comprehensive summary of four performances aspects of a project: Overall Panel, Individual Subject, Attribute and Product performances. The Overall Panel Performance and Individual Subject Performance summaries can be analyzed for an individual study or across multiple studies as a tracking procedure. Attribute Performance and Product Performance are only analyzed on an individual study basis.
