Nov 15, 2017 · 1. It sounds like you're describing the difference between effect size and p-values. Effect size is. a quantitative measure of the strength of a phenomenon. which is, "the test group show [ing] that its doing better than the control group". So your statistical test may be "insignificant" because it is not significant from a statistical ...
Mar 26, 2012 · 1. Something about the use of the word "insignificant" rubs me the wrong way. Saying that some result is statistically insignificant makes me think that the result does not matter. However, the result does matter regardless of whether it is statistically significant or not statistically significant. – assumednormal.
Sep 29, 2021 · Where I want to know the effect of treatment on income, and suspect it may vary with some other variable Z. Define the short regression as: Income = α0 + treatmentα1 + η. Now say in the short regression, α1^ = 10. and in the interaction model, say β2 is small and statistically insignificant, but β1^ ≈ α1^. and both are significant.
Jan 20, 2022 · Sample size calculations can also help to interpret insignificant coefficients. With a small sample size and low power, you wouldn't expect to see a significant result the coefficient is truly non-zero. But with a large sample size and sufficient power, an insignificant result is more interpretable - you failed to reject the null because the ...
Sep 2, 2015 · But in some cases, even insignificant variables must be kept. Probably the easiest way, but not necessarily the best, would to remove the most insignificant variable one at a time until all remaining variables are significant. Hope this helps! Forward, backward & stepwise variable selection are invalid.
May 25, 2015 · 2. There's no need to run the model again after doing cross-validation (you just get the coefficients from the output of cv.glmnet), and in fact if you fit the new logistic regression model without penalisation then you're defeating the purpose of using lasso. Having many of the variables non-significant is neither expected nor a sign of ...
Jul 4, 2012 · The idea is to define an interval of insignificance called the window of equivalence. This is used a lot when trying to show that a generic drug is a suitable replacement for a marketed drug. A good source to read about this is William Blackwelder's paper titled “Proving the null hypothesis” in clinical trials .
Jul 22, 2019 · Just define this "dummy" as a within-subject factor, and the model would do the rest. Significance itself is not very informative; it is required but not sufficient; any model would get significant with a sufficiently large number of observations. you may want to get effects size, like (partial) Eta-Squared, to get an idea of how "big" your effect is.
Jul 5, 2019 · 1. It sounds like they're arguing p-value vs. the definition of "Trend". If you plot the data out on a run chart, you may see a trend... a run of plot points that show a trend going up or down over time. But, when you do the statistics on it.. the p-value suggests it's not significant.
Traditionally, the null hypothesis is a point value. (It is typically $0$, but can in fact be any point value.) The alternative hypothesis is that the true value is any value other than the null va
