Summary A paired comparison technique is presented for fitting response surfaces. This is especially useful when subjective responses are involved, where it is often difficult to justify the basic assumptions of the classical procedure. This report discusses aspects of the estimation of parameters and their properties, tests of relevant hypotheses and the selection of experimental designs. The method is applied to an example in food testing.
