The significance of 'no significant difference'
Acta Radiologica, 1990It is generally accepted that patients experience less discomfort with low osmolality contrast media (LOM) than with high osmolar media (HOM). Hard statistical facts from so called ‘high quality’ controlled trials, proving that more significant reactions such as vomiting, hives, urticaria or anaphylactic complications also are less common with LOM are,

The significance of statistical significance
Intensive and Critical Care Nursing, 1997Currently, much nursing practice is based on limited evidence, for example, small-scale research, case studies and clinical experience. In a mature science this would be undesirable, but nursing is in the early stages of development as a science, and many of its practices depend on relatively informal knowledge.

What Is the Significance of a Significant TDT?
Human Heredity, 2005This note summarizes the development of the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT). The initial purpose of the TDT procedure was to test for linkage between a genetic marker and a disease susceptibility locus when an association had been found between the two. An association between disease and marker had sometimes been taken to imply linkage.

The Pavlovian Journal of Biological Science, 1990
A brief review was conducted of past and current research and theory as well as future implications of the problem of significance and the OR. Research and theory in the field is judged to be at a choice point: advance to interesting and important problems integrated with biobehavioral research or enter a blind alley of pseudo-problems derived from ...

The declining significance of significance
2022Siu Chow, in Statistical Significance: Rationale, Validity and Utility, has done a great service to those interested in reforming statistical practice. The indictment in the published literature of the continued reliance upon Null Hypothesis Testing (NHT) was so apparently overwhelming that one naturally wondered "Is there nothing to be said in its ...

Risk significance and safety significance
Reliability Engineering & System Safety, 2001Abstract Existing measures of the risk significance of elements of risk models (such as the Fussell–Vesely, or ‘F–V’, importance of basic events) are based on the properties of cut sets containing the element. A measure of safety significance (prevention worth, or PW ) is proposed, based on the properties of path sets containing the element.

Is Statistical Significance Always Significant?
Nutrition in Clinical Practice, 2005One way in which we learn new information is to read the medical literature. Whether or not we do primary research, it is important to be able to read literature in a critical fashion. A seemingly simple concept in reading is to interpret p values. For most of us, if we find a p value that is <.05, we take the conclusion to heart and quote it at ...

The importance of significance and the significance of importance
Postgraduate Medicine, 1979This article has attempted to illustrate the following principles of statistical significance. 1. An investigator must state the hypothesis to be tested beforehand, so that a null hypothesis can be constructed and validly tested using standard statistical techniques. 2. A statistically significant difference does not prove that a difference exists.
