That’s not what significance means.

That’s not what significance means.
- NationalPark 6y agoI mean... yes it is? 95% confidence in an effect is what most people mean when they say "statistically significant".
- jonex 6y agoI think the objection is about the phrasing that can be interpreted as "I will only be wrong in at most 5% of significant results", while what we mean is "if there is no effect, we will only get so large differences in at most 5% of cases". It's not uncommon that people fail to notice the nuance here and it's quite important for correctly interpreting reults.
