Table 4 Associations (Spearman’s R _s) between orthogonal factors and z-scores based on mHB behavioral variables^a

From: Consomic mouse strain selection based on effect size measurement, statistical significance testing and integrated behavioral z-scoring: focus on anxiety-related behavior and locomotion

^a Association based on 204 animals. Significant (P < 0.001139) (Spearman’s R _s) are indicated in bolditalics
^b Orthogonal factors were taken from Laarakker et al. [8]
^c AV avoidance, RI risk assessment, UN undirected exploration, DI directed exploration, ME memory, LO locomotion, AR arousal, OT other behavior
