Economics
English term or phrase: Whether this evidence is statistically significant
Estimados traductores:

Junto con saludar, agradecería a ustedes ayudarme a traducir la cláusula correctamente, ya que no puedo captar bien el sentido de la oración total.

La idea completa es la siguiente:

Whether this evidence is statistically significant requires much more careful econometric analysis, which is the main objective of this paper.

A continuación les adjunto el párrafo en donde aparece la idea:

The key research question in this paper is whether China's OFDI has had any displacement effect on that of other countries, especially those in the OECD. A preliminary examination of Fig. 2 may show such evidence. The OFDI share of OECD countries in the global total decreased alongside an increase in China's share. Whether this evidence is statistically significant requires much more careful econometric analysis, which is the main objective of this paper. In addition, the empirical models will help in identifying the key determinants of China's OFDI and to differentiate its impact on the different kinds of host and home countries of foreign investments.

Spanish translation:determinar si esta evidencia es estadísticamente significativa
Explanation:
Es jerga estadística, si bien la figura 2 muestra un efecto del OFDI de China sobre el de otros países, se necesitan más análisis para determinar si ese efecto es significativo estadísticamente. Es decir, no alcanza con verlo en un gráfico, tiene que estar apoyado numéricamente.

whether this evidence is statistically significant
el que este dato sea estadísticamente significativo


Explanation:
En estadísticas se habla de datos o muestras, las cuales deben ser analizadas para valorar su relevancia causal. "Evidencia" en este contexto es un anglicismo ya que en castellano (ver diccionario de la RAE) equivale a certidumbre que es lo contrario de lo que dice el texo.

"Evidence" se puede traducir como prueba, indicio o dato dependiendo del contexto. En materia legal es prueba o indicio. En materia estadística es mejor usar dato (numérico)...
