Researchers, and sometimes the journals that publish research, are more likely to publish positive results (e.g. showing a statistically significant finding) than results that are negative (i.e. supporting the null hypothesis) or insignificant.
The model can be interpreted as well fitted to the data when χ 2 and p value for close-fit hypothesis are insignificant, the CFI > .90, and RMSEA and SRMR < .08 [ 18, 19].
During P2, the isolation ward had little impact on acquisition rates: the sporadic acquisition rate remained the only statistically significant source of acquisitions in the ward, while transmission from unisolated patients remained unchanged and insignificant (likelihood ratio test, null hypothesis β1 = 0, p-value 0.2).
Hypotheses which turned insignificant according to the results of t-statistics and, therefore, should not be considered as reliable are marked italic Abbreviations: COOR coordination, COOP cooperation, CP coercive power, RWP reward power, EP expert power, IP informational power, LP legitimate power, RFP referent power.
However, a variable that should distinguish between potentially more contaminated and clean puncture sites based on the latter hypothesis was early removed as insignificant in our analysis.
With respect to Hypothesis 2, we find an insignificant negative impact of CGP density on the density of PSPs, indicating that the competition effect more or less compensates the referral effect for this type of physicians.
An F test fails to reject the null hypothesis that these variables are jointly insignificant.
The delays of transmission by the computers are not taken into consideration; preliminary calculations considering the clients' clocks have indicated that these delays are insignificant, i.e., have not changed the hypothesis testing results.
The insignificant amount of available real data that fits our hypothesis does not allow classical, statistical computation of the foreground and background probabilities.
The difference is insignificant according to the p-value > 0.05, and therefore Hypothesis 3 is not supported.
