p-hacking

Exploiting –perhaps unconsciously - researcher degrees of freedom until p<.05.

That finding seems to have been obtained through p-hacking, the authors dropped one of the conditions so that the overall p-value would be less than .05.

She is a p-hacker, she always monitors data while it is being collected.

Haikyuu

A small human tangerine meets a tall angry blueberry. They started off as enemies but slowly becomes friends through the power of volleyball, and along the way, they meet a bunch of cats, a few owls, and Oikawa.

I started watching Haikyuu for volleyball but stayed for the hot boys and the muscles.

Waka-chan out!

Haiku-ka-choo

n. short Japanese poetry set to music or read with a musical accompaniment.

Also: haiku-ca-choo (or without hyphens).

I thought it was just a regular poetry reading, but it turned out to be some of the most foot-tapping haiku-ka-choo!

p-hacking

Manipulation of statistics such that the desired outcome assumes "statistical significance", usually for the benefit of the study's sponsors. Usually done by ex post facto choice of significance labels and simple reporting of results as being conclusive regardless of calculated p-value. This depends on the public's general lack of understanding of statistical measures and press non-reportage of details.

Also the basis of nutrition research.

Study: "Soy protein was shown to reduce cancer rates in rats with a p <1.0" (effectively random data)

Next day's headline: "Soy Cures Cancer"

Sales soar 1000%

p-hacking = Profit.
