Does the finding of statistical significance justify the rejection of the Null hypothesis?
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 23 (2):293-294 (2000)
| Abstract | The soundness of Chow's (1996; 1998a) argument depends on the soundness of his assertion that statistical significance may be understood to signify that chance may be excluded as the reason for results. The examples and arguments provided here show that statistical significance signifies no such thing. | |||||||||
