we sometimes see in the literature terms like, "close to
significance", "approaching significance", and "borderline
significance", to refer to p-values that are close to 0.05. Some
investigators do not think these terms are appropriate, i.e.,
something is significant or is not - thus, 0.049 is significant and
0.051 is not significant. How do you feel about this issue? No
right or wrong answers, as long as you justify your response (and
use citations).
