Paired t-test results comparing evoked current amplitudes relative to baseline in males only

This is an example of the dataframe of t-test results produced using perform_t_tests_for_summary_plot(). NOTE: This data has been filtered to include only MALE data. The dataframe can be used for further statistical analyses, and it also has specialized columns to add significance stars to the plot produced with plot_summary_current_data().

Format

An .rda file containing 16 objects of 10 variables

treatment

A character value specifying the treatment applied (e.g. "Control", "HNMPA") such as the antagonists or agonists, or any protocol applied to the animals (e.g. "Fasting").

.y.

A character value describing the parameter compared with the t-test. In this case, this uses the mean normalized amplitude of the first evoked current ("mean_P1_transformed") which has been generated using make_summary_EPSC_data().

group1

A character value describing the first group used in the paired t-test. This is the baseline interval, "t0to5".

group2

A character value describing the second group used in the paired t-test. Examples include "t5to10" and "t10to15".

n1

The number of paired values used in the comparison.

statistic

The test statistic.

df

The degrees of freedom.

p_string

The p-value expressed as a character value using pvalString from the lazyWeave package, which rounds the values and expresses them according to typical published values (e.g. > 0.99, < 0.001 instead of exact values).

significance_stars

A character value containing asterisks indicating significance. p < 0.05 = *, p < 0.01 = **, and p < 0.001 = ***.

asterisk_time

A numeric value indicating the time value where a significance star will be added. This is the midpoint of each interval. For example, the asterisk_time for an interval from 5 to 10 minutes will be 7.5 minutes.
