title: Circannual bootstrapping complements pattern discrimination in the assessment of endocrine markers for an expansive personality (EP).
abstract: The bootstrap distribution of the difference in the circannual mesor of DHEA-S, TSH and LH between healthy adult women of a lowly or highly expansive personality, assessed by scale 9 of an abbreviated Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory, validates the potential classifying role of these hormones, originally singled out by methods of pattern discrimination.
