As mentioned in the abstract, this is a preregistered study: osf.io/9z5qn

☂️To bring clarity, we introduced "QRP umbrella terms" that group conceptually related QRPs. For example, #Phacking 🪓consists of 13 specific QRPs, and #CherryPicking 🍒covers 7. This disaggregation helps pinpoint specific behaviors.
P-hacking: subtle practices that can distort research findings. Nature discusses five ways this can occur and how to prevent it. A must-read for data analysts and researchers.

Positive study by arbitrary set non-inferority margins? Sounds like an industry-sponsored study! #phacking

Thinking about the scientific sin of p-hacking, it's tempting to wonder if astrologers were the original p-hackers: brianclegg.blogspot.com/2025/04/were... #astrology #phacking #dubiouspractice
Me yapping about #phacking is very exciting bc y'all not slick and I unfortunately love when ppl get caught being messy 😂😭

#statstab #168 Large P-Values Cannot be Explained by Power Analysis
Thoughts: "Researchers cannot “aim” for p = .05, not even with a careful, perfectly accurate, power analysis."

in which i list a bunch of scientific reforms & call them all populist gimmicks. for an hour.
writing & producing this episode was a real slog, in my 30°C, noisy studio (attic). it's likely also going to be a slog for my ~100 listeners.

Thoughts: Why not try your hand at some tools for detecting publication bias (mileage may vary). Useful teaching demo tools.

A Jest for the Best In the realm of statistics, where p-values reside Some folks act like it’s a magic guide Beware p-hacking, for significance is just a clue Regression and correlation have their say too! Amidst the alpha and beta, let’s not forget Stats are tools, don’t make them a bet In the land of means and chi-squares' dance Remember, real life’s not just by chance! Hari Srinivasan
In my comment, I agree with virtually everything said but point to a blind spot in the discussion: sex research is dominated by single study papers that hinder both the detection of anomalies and scientific progress. #solidscience #sexology #pHACKING https://psyarxiv.com/cpjr7
From a respected colleague. Still a long way to go! #openscience #pHacking I suppose there's no data on how many still ignorant of this?
