Non-difference in PEF-1 success rate

[edit]

There was no significant difference in the success rate of editors in the PEF-1 experiment. When I arrived, this report stated that there was an insignificant decrease in quality. This is both false and misleading. There was actually an insignificant increase in quality in the reported statistics. However, this detail is irrelevant since the statistical test failed to identify a meaningful difference and other analyses from the report reversed the comparison. The best we can report to a lay audience is that no change was observed. See meta:Research:Post-edit_feedback/PEF-1. --EpochFail(talk|work) 19:55, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Quite right, I misread the chart. - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 21:20, 26 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
