Support merge - Data dredging is probably the best title (comment by John Quiggin, forgot to sign).ĭo not merge - Bias through incorrect data-snooping is essentially different from the problem created by testing a hypothesis with the same data-set.

Maybe a disambiguation entry can be posted to differentiate these concepts. These are essentially the same concept by two different names. I support the merge of this page with the page on Data Dredging. contribs) 09:24, 5 February 2019 (UTC) Reply.Here's a reference that might do: - Preceding unsigned comment added by Lionfish0 ( talk The reason given was 'according to whom' but the whole section is unreferenced, so it's better it's correct and unreferenced than wrong and unreferenced.
I tried changing this but it was reverted. Lionfish0 ( talk) 08:44, 4 February 2019 (UTC) Reply I agree with Ihearthonduras - it's more than just automated testing.

This is an important distinction because this involved neither huge numbers of hypotheses nor an exhaustive search. If I test 4 hypotheses about a single data set, only one turns up significant and I report only that one hypothesis, then I have committed p-hacking/data-dredging. "The process of data dredging involves automatically testing huge numbers of hypotheses about a single data set by exhaustively searching" I think that the intro defines the most egregious case of data dredging, and not data dredging in general.
