The Art of Data Science

In this chapter we go into detail about what this 3-step epicyclic process is and give examples of how you can apply it to your data analysis.

Revisit your original question
Start with the primary statistical model to get your bearings and focus on the nature of the result rather than on a binary assessment of the result (e.g. statistically significant or not). The nature of the result includes three characteristics: its directionality, magnitude, and uncertainty. Uncertainty is an assessment of how likely the result was obtained by chance.
Develop an overall interpretation based on (a) the totality of your analysis and (b) the context of what is already known about the subject matter.
Consider the implications, which will guide you in determining what action(s), if any, sbould be taken as a result of the answer to your question.
