The depiction does not tell you anything since you cannot see structure in the black blob. It shows that outliers do exist which is expected since biology is messy.
There is the slightest anti correlation for measured testosterone levels and IQ, but on the individual level this is meaningless. There are people with testosterone resistance to various levels which would require diligent treatment to destill a more useful graph, but that’s infeasible.
So I’m not a data scientist but doesn’t this basically say that your testosterone and IQ are pretty independent of each other?
No, the big cloud of data points says they are pretty dependent and the little outlier says outliers can exist.
I am a scientist and it pisses me off that the independent variable is on the y axis
Yes thank you!
