WebApr 21, 2024 · Simonsohn et al. (2014) suggested that it is possible to detect the use of dumb p-hacking methods by means of p-curve plots. Repeated sampling and the use of covariates produce markedly left-skewed (monotonic decreasing) p-curves. Schimmack (2024) noted that left-skewed p-curves are actually very rare. Figure 1 shows the p-curve …

As we have seen in the previous section, right-skewness of p-curves is ambiguous.Is left-skewness of p-curves less ambiguous?To address this question, let us first investigate Simonsohn et al.’s (2014a, p. 539) demonstration example for left-skewed p-curves in more detail.Using a number of … how do animals fly
P-Curve: A tool for detecting publication bias
WebThe paper that coined the term p-hacking is online, and an interesting read. TL;DR: P-hacking is the use of data mining to find patterns in data that can be presented as statistically significant, without first devising a specific hypothesis as to the underlying causality. Then a hypothesis is constructed that matches the previously found data. WebJun 16, 2024 · Download a PDF of the paper titled Detecting p-hacking, by Graham Elliott and 2 other authors.
