To explore the extent to which biological conclusions are influenced by model choice, we compared the expected ancestral domain content and the expected events predicted by the C, L, FL2, and FL3 models.
Because male responsiveness to a female could significantly bias our measures of female choice, we compared the frequency (mean of the three repeated trials) that males terminated associations with high and low-carotenoid diet females with a Student's t-test.
To test hypothesis (iii), the possible effect of age on mate choice, we compare the model with the three way interaction between mating status, drug status and age, C1∶2∶3+C14+C2+C3, to the model without the three way interaction, C14+C2+C3.
For the analyses of biases during free-choice sessions we compared the bias (ipsilateral − contralateral % correct) on the infusion day with the control session 1 day before and performed t-tests across sessions for each region (PPC or FOF) and trial-type (free-choice, accumulation or side LED).
For the five choice questions (1 7), we compared New England faculty (Fac) versus college students from three types of academic institutions (Pub, Priv, or Rel) and analyzed separately the data generated in each of the questions (i.e., Questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7; choices A, B, C, D, or E).
For the five-choice questions (1 7), we compared the New England general faculty (Gen Fac) versus the educators of prospective teachers (Edu) versus the college students from four types of academic institutions (Stu: Pub + Priv + Rel I + Rel II) and analyzed separately the data generated in each of the questions (i.e., questions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, or 7; choices a e).
To assess the robustness of our dual-choice test procedure, we compared the menthol-preference indices (MPIs) in flies exposed, or not, to menthol during their complete development (F0; nos. 2 and 1 in Fig. 2).
The key point is that there are two distinct segments of the population (high and low income) with different choice probabilities: We compare two different solutions to (2)–(4), namely solution I (all locations are selected) and solution II (location B is not selected).
To further estimate the sensitivity to the choice of the parameter, we compared the top 100 pairs with the top 100 pairs for D* = 1.5 The results for D* = 1.0, 1.75, 1.75 and 2.0 were 62%, 83%, 76% and 54%, respectively.
