The core consistency is given as the percentage of variation in a Tucker3 core array consistent with the theoretical superidentity array. The max value is 100%. A sharp drop in the core consistency value would indicate the number of components to be taken for the modeling [51]. Notice that PARAFAC modeling does not exhibit such a behavior on this data set.
