Imagine you preregistered study with tests A and B for a directed hypothesis H, but did not specify one-tailed or two-tailed testing. Test A is in the predicted direction, but p = between .05 and .09. Test B is in the non-predicted direction, but p < .05. How do you report results?

`Intuitively, if the restricted #estimator is near the maximum of the #likelihood function, the score should not differ from zero by more than sampling error. While the finite sample #distributions of score tests are generally unknown, they have an #asymptotic χ2-distribution under the null #hypothesis as first proved by C. R. Rao in 1948, a fact that can be used to determine statistical #significance.`
