In psychological statistics the dagger indicates that a difference between two figures is not significant to a p<0.05 level, however is still considered a "trend" or worthy of note. Commonly this will be used for a p-value between 0.1 and 0.05.
In 2016, the American Statistical Association (ASA) published a statement on p-values, saying that "the widespread use of 'statistical significance' (generally interpreted as 'p ≤ 0.05') as a license for making a claim of a scientific finding (or implied truth) leads to considerable distortion of the scientific process". [57]
In null-hypothesis significance testing, the p-value [note 1] is the probability of obtaining test results at least as extreme as the result actually observed, under the assumption that the null hypothesis is correct. [2] [3] A very small p-value means that such an extreme observed outcome would be very unlikely under the null hypothesis.
The solution to this question would be to report the p-value or significance level α of the statistic. For example, if the p-value of a test statistic result is estimated at 0.0596, then there is a probability of 5.96% that we falsely reject H 0.
Yosef Hochberg's step-up procedure (1988) is performed using the following steps: [7]. Start by ordering the p-values (from lowest to highest) () … and let the associated hypotheses be …
If the resulting p-value of Levene's test is less than some significance level (typically 0.05), the obtained differences in sample variances are unlikely to have occurred based on random sampling from a population with equal variances. Thus, the null hypothesis of equal variances is rejected and it is concluded that there is a difference ...
Second, the improved pre-tax income, combined with the significant reduction in nondeductible stock-based comp, will have implications on our effective tax rate, which we estimate will be closer ...
The p-values of the rejected null hypothesis (i.e. declared discoveries) are colored in red. Note that there are rejected p-values which are above the rejection line (in blue) since all null hypothesis of p-values which are ranked before the p-value of the last intersection are rejected. The approximations MFDR = 0.02625 and AFDR = 0.00730, here.
