The Matrix revisited: How to analyze the structure of behavior
everal methods are available for the analysis of first order behavioral transition matrices in biological data. These methods analyze different aspects of transition matrices, but a comprehensive framework for their use is lacking. We analyzed parasitoid foraging behavior in different environments....

everal methods are available for the analysis of first order behavioral transition matrices in biological data. These methods analyze different aspects of transition matrices, but a comprehensive framework for their use is lacking. We analyzed parasitoid foraging behavior in different environments.

This served as a criterion for splitting the behavioral records into two parts. For both parts Mantel¿s test was used to detect differences between first order transition matrices, whereas the iterative proportional fitting method was used to find behavioral flows that positively deviate from random transitions.
