Sensory data Generalized Procrustes Analysis PCA Metabolomics data Block scaling For model of concatenated data, all

variables are scaled to unit variance and block scaled. Different weight factor will used for each data block : 1. Square root of the sum of squares of that specific data block 2. Equal sum of variance (might be 1) 3. Soft scaling sum of variances in each block, which is proportional to the square root of the number of variables in the block. 4. Equal mean intensity (1/mblock) 5. Equal sums of standard deviations (1/()block) 6. 1/sqrt(Kblock) Kblock = number of variables in each block PCA PLSR
