Definitions for "Significance"
A mathematical test of whether a study’s results could be caused by chance or whether they really show what they seem to show.
Significance is an English word that has been hijacked by statisticians. In general usage the term significant difference means an important difference, but "significant" in this sense is subjective. On the other hand, statistical significance is objective, and is based on the concept "p0.05". In an experiment, a difference is detected by challenging a null hypothesis of "no difference". When p is less than 0.05, the null hypothesis is rejected - when p is greater than 0.05, the null hypothesis is accepted. So what does p0.05 really mean? A p value of less than 0.05 means that there is even less than a 0.05 probability of getting the observed test statistic if the null hypothesis is true. This is an incredibly misunderstood concept, by even experienced users of statistics. See also Probability.
Results of a clinical experiment are said to be "statistically" significant when they are highly unlikely to be attributable to "chance" and arguably more likely due to "psi". The chance probability is reported as 'the significance level'. Generally, to be considered significant, the chance probability must be less than 1 in 20 (5% or 0.05).
That which is signified; meaning; import; as, the significance of a nod, of a motion of the hand, or of a word or expression.
Importance; moment; weight; consequence.
The relative importance of an issue, concern or environmental effect, as measured by prevailing standards, regulatory requirements and social values.
Fraction of the OMIM entries analysed that had a lower or equal frequency of the word in the corresponding abstracts. A value of one indicates that the frequency of the word in the abstracts of the corresponding OMIM entry is exceptionally high. Note that words like 'this' may have a high frequency but a low significancy.
The still emerging from the gestalt background when the process of definition interacts with the indefinite. This definition consists of parameters, which are the relations of the defined object with itself and the rest of the world. It persists by preserving its fixed inner relations through time.
The quality or state of being significant.
the quality of being significant; "do not underestimate the significance of nuclear power"
