摘要：In the last decade, temporal dominance of sensations (TDS) methods have proven to be potent approaches in the field of food sciences. Accordingly, thus far, methods for analyzing TDS curves, which are the major outputs of TDS methods, have been developed. This study proposes a method of bootstrap resampling for TDS tasks. The proposed method enables the production of random TDS curves to estimate the uncertainties, that is, the 95% confidence interval and standard error of the curves. Based on Monte Carlo simulation studies, the estimated uncertainties are considered valid and match those estimated by approximated normal distributions with the number of independent TDS tasks or samples being 50–100 or greater. The proposed resampling method enables researchers to apply statistical analyses and machine-learning approaches that require a large sample size of TDS curves.
