There are well-known algorithms to find the initial time of a pulse such as cross correlation with or without preprocessor, first introduced in [ 19 ]; the detection of steep changes in the cumulative energy of the time signal [ 9 ]; or the modification of this method including a negative trend [ 20 , 21 ]; the Akaike information criterion (AIC) based on autoregressive processes; and, energy-based methods using high order statistics such as kurtosis and skewness [ 22 ].

While familiarity and AoA exhibited a positive trend and concreteness and AoA showed a negative trend, these nonsignificant relationships suggest that among affective and lexico-semantic variables, arousal is the only variable that consistently predicts valence ambiguity.

In our study, we observed a negative trend between minimum nighttime temperature and sleep duration as well as between the minimal nighttime heat index and sleep duration, but these relationships were not statistically significant in either model.

In some cases there is a negative trend, similar to type B FDAR, indicating that at coarser scales species are more similar to the existing species at the finer scales; but in other cases a sigmoid trend is detected implying that initially new dissimilar species are added but after a point the newcomers are similar to the species already present.
