For predicting preference of no-disclosure of ME (vs. other preferences), only age and gender were significant predictors (OR 0.96 (0.92 to 0.99) per year, P = 0.02 and 3.95 (1.86 to 8.39), P < 0.001, respectively).
In a forward stepwise regression analysis, older age, female gender, and being healthy predicted preference of disclosure of near miss ME, while younger age and male gender predicted preference of no-disclosure of ME.
The OR (patient to healthy) was 0.74 (0.56 to 0.99) for preference of disclosure of near miss ME and 0.40 (0.18 to 0.88) for preference of no-disclosure of ME, although the overall distributions of preferences were not statistically different Thus patients were less likely than healthy individuals to prefer the more extreme choices.
One-sample t-tests (two-tailed) were used to determine if pups had olfactory preferences, testing against the null hypothesis of no preference and thus equal time spent with each scent (Bloss et al., 2002).
Sometimes the decision just boils down to the personal preference of the candidate, no matter what the wonky vote-predictors tell them they should do.
This preference of treatment despite no benefit is a seemingly non-rational answer and has been found in earlier studies, especially among irradiated patients (Jansen et al, 2001; Pieterse et al, 2007).
To address the question of whether experimental seahorses preferred larger partners, the null hypothesis of no preference (i.e., B = 0.5), was tested with one-sample t tests.
In the system, used in some European countries, voters rank candidates in order of preference; if no candidate receives 50percentt of the vote, the second choices of voters whose first choices were eliminated are counted.
Thus, for a large data set there seems to be no explicit preference (of course if there is no preference from a philosophical point of view) for either a frequentist or Bayesian approach (if based on vague priors).
Although we demonstrated adequate power to detect network effects on self-reported sexual behavior and desire for a romantic relationship, similar analyses of partner preference revealed no signs of peer influence.
