Symbolic analysis of indicator time series by quantitative sequence alignment

Symbolic analysis of economic indicators and derived time series offers an advantage of transferring quantitative values into qualitative notions by indexing intervals of numerical data with symbols. While differences in the numerical indicators are routinely measured by subtraction, differences in the symbolic indicators can be compared via more procedural quantitative-scoring schemes, the complexity of which depends on the alphabet size. In effect, the similarity of symbolic data sequence becomes a subtle measure. Upon motivating principles of symbolic analysis, our analysis illustrates how the optimized numerical scoring for alignment schemes may reveal functional and causal relations among the indicator data. The approach of symbolic analysis is particularly suitable for data processing in economics, in which partitioning of resources, competence, information access, or knowledge representation is common by the methodological design.

Clicker Training Mice for Improved Compliance in the Catwalk Test

The CatWalk test relies on the run of mice across the platform to measure a constant speed with low variation. Mice usually require a stimulus to walk to the end of the catwalk. However, such stimuli are usually aversive and can impair welfare. Positive reinforcement training of laboratory animals is a thriving tool for refinement and contributes to meeting the demands instituted by Directive 2010/63/EU. We have already demonstrated the positive effects of clicker training. In this study, we trained male and female mice to complete the CatWalk protocol while assessing the effects of training on their well-being (Open Filed and Elevated Plus Maze). In the CatWalk test, we observed that clicker training improved the running speed of the mice. In addition, clicker training reduced the number of runs required by mice, which was more pronounced in males. Clicker training lowered anxiety-like behaviors in our mice, especially in females, where a significant difference was observed between trained and untrained ones. Based on our findings, we hypothesize that clicker training is an effective tool to motivate mice and increase performance on the CatWalk test without potentially impairing their welfare (e.g., by puffing them)
