“verging on significance”

However, the interaction between Stimulus Type and Accuracy showed a medium-to-large effect size and a trend verging on significance, prompting further exploration (F (1,17) = 4.42, p = 0.051, η 2 = 0.21).

Mann-Whitney U-test for the distribution across categories (natural hair compared to treated hair) showed that treated hair samples had higher testosterone concentrations, with the test statistic verging on significance (p = 0.051; Fig 2 ).

We found that there were significant positive correlations between the DMN-SN ( r = 0.367, p-value = 0.021), SN-CEN ( r = 0.325, p-value = 0.043) and verging on significance for the CEN-DMN ( r = 0.314, p-value = 0.051).

The ANOVA showed an effect of background and of chromatic/luminance co m bination (F(2, 34) = 3.78, p = 0.033, ηp 2 = 0.18 and F(2, 34) = 3.83, p = 0.032, ηp 2 = 0.18 respectively), while the interaction was verging on significance (F(4, 68) = 2.12, p = 0.057, ηp 2 = 0.13).

An interaction between having a gastrointestinal disorder and age was forced into the model as the interaction term was verging on significance ( p = 0.058) and did not increase the AIC by more than 3.

A decrease in methylation status of the CpG island associated with LEF1 was verging on significance (p = 0.06) in subjects with a NPM1 mutation compared to NPM1 wild-type subjects in this smaller population study.

We also observed that BrM had significantly decreased TCR (TRA/TRB) abundance and diversity as compared to primary tumors, and this association was verging on significance for certain immunoglobulin classes.

There was no global effect of lesion ( F (1,48) = 2.13), and no interaction with the treatment ( F (2,48) = 2.61), although it was verging on significance ( p ≃ 0.08).

Statements such as “trending interactions” and “verging on significance” were used to describe data with an alpha of 0.06–0.08.
