The reason for TST-/ELISPOT+ response discordance is unclear, but could be related to variations around the respective thresholds, since both tests are continuous measures [20], [21].
T tests were used when the test variable was continuous, which was only the case for age of the victim.
The outcome measures of six of the test components were continuous.
In contrast, our testing procedure was continuous without interruption or placing the rats in different environments.
Rather, the tests must be continuous in so far as you engage in any form of risky behaviors.
This means testing has to be continuous as well.
Student's t-test was used for continuous variables normally distributed, and the Mann–Whitney U test was used for continuous variables that were not normally distributed.
The t test was used if continuous variables were normally distributed, while the Wilcoxon two-sample test was used if continuous variables were not normally distributed.
The Student t test was used for continuous variables with normal distribution and the Mann–Whitney U test was used for continuous variables without normal distribution.
Paired t test was used for continuous variables and the chi-squared test for frequency variables.
