Abstract

Many stochastic systems require multiple trials to estimate their time-varying statistics. Time-varying statistics are often estimated by employing a time window of a certain length over trials. However, no standardized method exists for estimating time-varying statistics. In this paper, we propose an analysis method for measuring time-varying statistics that can be applied to point process data with multiple trials, such as neural spike trains.
