Burst-pause criterion derivation for drinkometer measurements of ingestive behavior

“…In this protocol paper, we present a walkthrough of the data analysis of drinkometer-derived data for the measurement of microstructure of ingestive behavior based on previous results published by our group [1] . The objective of this protocol was to provide a standardized methodology for extraction and processing of drinkometer-derived data.…”

“…As recently described by our group [1] , human ingestive behavior is quantified with two sets of parameters: macrostructural and microstructural. The set of macrostructural parameters is the scaffold which gives a shape to the behavior, while the set of microstructural parameters describes the fine-grained complexity of individual behavior.…”

“…Macro- and microstructural parameters are described in Alceste et al. [1] . Data analysis of pre-processed drinkometer-derived data was performed using R (version 4.0.3) [3] via RStudio (version 1.3.1093) [4] .…”

“…A Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival analysis was performed for post-hoc verification of the fit of the predicted optimal PC to the ISI distribution. In this protocol paper, we present a walkthrough of the data analysis of drinkometer-derived data for the measurement of microstructure of ingestive behavior based on previous results published by our group [1] . Standardization of the burst-pause criterion derivation for drinkometer measurements of ingestive behavior.…”
