Fig. 3. Correlation plots.
a Correlation between the model’s prediction of PC1 (i.e., iHRV) for the entire data set with each of the cardiorespiratory variables used to create PC1. b Comparison between PC1 and the model’s prediction and the correlation between PC1 and other possible explanatory variables. Time center (er)—time in the center of the empty room; STAI-T - self-reported trait anxiety; Threat anxiety—self-reported anxiety felt during the persistent threat scenario; STAI-S—self-reported state anxiety. Black line in the center of shaded area are Pearson correlation coefficients; shaded area, 95% confidence intervals for the correlation coefficients, corrected for multiple comparisons in each panel; blue shaded area, significant correlation corrected for multiple comparisons in each panel.
