Hi Bruce! A very effective and succinct explanation that begins with “How big of difference do we need to see before we can say it is not simply due to chance?”… and then goes on to discuss significance versus practicality, and then even explores further the topic of practicality. Very thoughtful and well-presented as always. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a fabulous 2018. cheers, Rod.
Thanks Rod! Yes, so much focus on metrics but often how they are used is from the Dark Ages lol.
