How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that district court correctly required the plaintiffs to account for potential explanatory variable where the plaintiffs alleged but did not 112 prove that the variable was biased
- Using multiple regression analysis, “individual plaintiffs can make predictions about what job or job benefits similarly situated employees should ideally receive, and then can measure the difference between the predicted treatment and the actual treatment of those employees.”
- statistical analysis yielding level of significance at or below .05 is suspect, and a disparity of 2 standard deviation units establishes threshold level of statistical significance
- “[T]here simply is no minimum threshold level of statistical significance which mandates a finding that Title VII plaintiffs have made out a prima facie case[.]”
- sta- tistical evidence was not “statistically significant” enough to establish a prima facie case of discrimination
