Meaning of significent

[yael]

Hello

I have the following results and I'm not sure about the conclusions.

I am checking the impact of CEO in three stages. Stage 1,2 and 3. The results are as follows:

Stage 1 - 0.073 (p=0.05)

Stage 2 - 0.02 (p=0.01)

Stage 3 - 0.058 (p<0.0001)

All are positive impact, but I am trying to understand the difference between stage 1 and 3. Stage 1 is 0.073 but p=0.05 and stage 3 is with less impact but with higher significent. Can I say that the CEO impact is higher in stage 1 even if it is in p=0.05?

Thanks a lot!

Yes. The impact inside your model of Stage 1 is larger than Stage 3 (given alpha = 0.05). I am guessing that the significance in this case reffers to t-testing your coefficients=0, in which case for all three stages, you reject the null hypothesis of the three stages having no impact on your response variable.

Use LSMEANS to check the mean between these two group.
