Non-significant results: Do your groups really come from the same population?
How many times have you stopped looking at your data after your statistical analysis reveals a non-significant outcome?
Do you file the study away and not publish your work? Or do you report the results and attempt to rationalize why it
happened? Sometimes, if the result is not what you expect, your intuition may be right. Here I will provide an example of how
an initial statistical analysis can be followed-up with additional analyses to determine whether your data really comes from the
same population as implied by the non-significant result.
