Mixed-effects analyses of pleasantness scorings in Probst et al. [18] testing the effects of the sharing of MHC antigens between donor and rater (dissimilar versus similar; ‘MHC’) and odour intensity (intensity) as fixed factors, and rater identity or donor identity (ID) as random factors. The proportions of the total variance explained are based on REML variance component estimates (unbounded). Significant p-values are marked in italic.
