The corpus contains 946 spontaneous utterances from 47 participants of the show, and each utterance was labeled using a discrete five-point scale for three-dimensional emotion space of valence, activation, and dominance by 6 to 17 labelers.
Consumers evaluated each strawberry sample for overall acceptance, as well as perceived intensity of flavor, juiciness, sweetness, and sourness using a discrete 9-point, bipolar hedonic/intensity scale, where 1 = dislike extremely/extremely low intensity and 9 = like extremely/extremely high intensity, according to ISO standards for quantitative response scales [67].
By incorporating a procedure for choosing initial points and using a discrete filled function, we develop an efficient algorithm to tackle the problem.
Data point smoothing is then carried out using a discrete curvature based method.
using a discrete time Markov chain[ 36, 37].
More precisely, the subjects used a discrete nine-point scale to rate the following: valence, with the range going from unhappy or sad to happy or joyful; arousal, with the range going from calm or bored to stimulated or excited; dominance, with the range going from submissive or 'without control' to dominant or 'in control, empowered'; and whether they liked the video or not.
As an alternative to simply using the efficiency measure as a discrete point, Simar and Wilson [ 11] advocate the use of bootstrapping techniques in order to obtain unbiased and consistent estimates.
The difference between the two is that the research by Lee uses a continuous model based on geometric Brownian motion (GBM), with the real options model from the perspective of a franchisee, whereas this study uses a discrete model from the franchisor point of view.
Sometimes, the cursor appeared as a discrete point; other times, it was an ill-defined cloud.
The model uses a discrete time step of 1 month.
