“Statistically Significant” Changes
• What Does This Mean?Statistically Significance (p-value)
“One could say that the statistical significance of a result tells us something about the degree to which the result is “true” … For example. A p-value of .05 . . . indicates that there is a 5% probability that [a trend] ….. is a “fluke.” StatSoft. Inc. 1984-2003, Elementary Concepts in Statistics, http://www.scansoft.com/textbook/
There are no absolutes in statistics! (Warren Smith)
We contract significance testing out to an expert;
Dr. Sonia Sheffield, Ph.D. Professional, with over 20 years of public and private sector experience in statistical analysis. Worked with us since 1994.
