(a,b) Effect of the blood cooling on the 1st (a) and 2nd (b) principal component (PC) extracted from a cluster of inflammation/immunity-related blood markers. Top: Time-course of PC during the time of the experiment, with thick lines implying model fit. Bottom: posterior probability distribution for the effect of time (left) and ‘time*cooling’ interaction (right) on the PC values, with dashed curves indicating prior probability distribution, and solid lines (under the curves) showing bounds of 95% (thick lines) and 99% (tiny lines) Bayesian credible intervals. ‘p’: 2*(1- probability of direction¹²). See methods for details and abbreviations. (c) The posterior probability distribution for the effect of the time (left) and ‘time*cooling’ interaction (right) on individual inflammation-related parameters. Lines under the posterior area indicate 95% CIs. (d) Pearson correlations between the 1st and the 2nd principal components and individual blood markers. See methods abbreviations.
