Additional Information

An inherent consequence of large, observational studies is that although effects may be statistically significant, they may only account for a small proportion of the variance. The objective of this workshop is to develop best practice recommendations for interpreting effects in “big data” by engaging scientists from a range of disciplines in discussions of meaningful science that go beyond statistical significance.
