Testosterone in men and sexually transmitted infections plus promiscuity. Percentage increase in behavior(s) for a range of increase in testosterone levels in men. But what proportion of the variation in sexually transmitted infections and promiscuity was accounted for by testosterone? Here is where regression analysis enters in, but you don’t have to worry about understanding it. Just look at the R2 values below. Regression analysis for the effect of age and testosterone on sexually transmitted infections and promiscuity in men. The R2 value explains the proportion of the variation in the dependent variable (behavior) accounted for by the variable(s) entered (age and testosterone in our case). For sexually transmitted infections, this value is a mere 0.006 or 0.6%, and for promiscuity this value is a mere 0.010 or 1%. In other words, testosterone is accounting for very little of the variance in promiscuity and sexually transmitted diseases in the sample (because too many factors affect these variables, which in turn suggests that it is a naïve assumption on Frost’s part to assume that greater promiscuity in African-Americans is due to higher testosterone levels). So even if we assume that all unavailable blood samples in the Rohrmann et al. study were removed due to herpes infection and that African-Americans were strongly overrepresented in the omitted samples, it wouldn’t follow that the omissions have prevented the average testosterone levels in African-American men from registering above the white average. https://its.fh-campuswien.ac.at/hackmd/s/JnqeNil1t https://hackmd.iscpif.fr/s/rkrmhM1oxg https://hackmd.diverse-team.fr/s/rydHg-740 https://md.ccc-mannheim.de/s/SJySFt09lx http://tacheles.humanistika.org/s/rJlpebt0eg https://hackmd.astamuse.net/s/SJvV8w5ngl https://hackmd.stuve-bamberg.de/s/x-bffabI0 https://docs.snowdrift.coop/s/6vwMFFiPc https://hedgedoc.catgirl.cloud/s/I34Ez6Gd5 https://hackmd.bangumi.org/s/rkx7HZJehxl https://pad.demokratie-dialog.de/s/oVGf7S7L11 https://hackmd.stuve-bamberg.de/s/hRZ-myP9C https://craigslist-personals.eurolines.nl/ https://craigslist-personals.mijnstartonline.nl/ https://craigslist-personals.rosadoc.be/ https://craigslist-personals.de-vitrine.be/ https://craigslist-personals.velelinkjes.nl/ https://craigslist-personals.maakjestart.nl/ https://craigslist-personals.gratislinken.nl/ https://craigslist-personals.backlinkplaatsen.nl/
