Table 2.
Comparisons of non-preferred (n = 27) and preferred (n = 31) partners (dependent variable), with a binary generalized linear mixed model, are presented below to compare various measures of behavior, measured as a pair (symmetry, proximity, and dominance), as well as the difference in weight between pairs of rats (predictor variables)
Fixed effect | Not Preferred | Preferred | Estimate | SE | z | p | OR | CI Lower | CI Upper |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Intercept | 1.774 | 1.493 | 1.188 | 0.235 | 5.892 | −1.152 | 4.700 | ||
Play symmetry | 0.51 ±0.06 | 0.75 ±0.05 | −2.911 | 1.058 | −2.750 | 0.006 | 0.054 | −4.986 | −0.837 |
Proximity (sec) | 292.65 ± 11.86 | 281.77 ± 10.46 | −0.001 | 0.005 | 0.170 | 0.865 | 1.001 | −0.009 | 0.011 |
Weight | −3.31 ± 3.57 | −2.64 ± 3.35 | −0.005 | 0.016 | −0.296 | 0.767 | 0.995 | −0.036 | 0.027 |
Dominance | 1.92 ± 2.28 | 0.88 ± 1.51 | −0.024 | 0.029 | −0.820 | 0.412 | 0.976 | −0.082 | 0.033 |
SE, standard error; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
The percentage (± standard error of the mean) of the various measures are presented along with the results of the model.
