It refers to the loss of participants owing to dropping out. It can lead to attrition bias and impact the correlation between the variables. Attrition bias can skew a well-designed experiment’s results, making variables show suspicious correlations when they are not and vice versa.

The correlation test result I’m reading about indicates that the p-value is less than 0.001. Does that imply a relationship?

Hi, I realized that it seems the concept “outcome” is different from the term “output”. Taking the grandparent training project as an example, what is the “outcome’ referable?
