Consensus made on Data dredging talk page to not merge. Marking the page for cleanup. -- DSGruss 03:56, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
- Cleaned up content. Added examples section to encompass substandard content and add additional example. Removed cleanup marker. Dhvrm 00:11, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
Can the author of example 2 check the figures. 2% of 10,000 is 200, not 2,000. The implied 2% of non-smokers in the 1,000 sample would be 20, not 200. Perhaps something else was intended, but it is not clear to me. BenzoBuddies ( talk) 13:49, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Was this page lifted from www.absoluteastronomy.com/topics/Data-snooping_bias ?

Isn't this page just a less detailed description of Multiple comparisons? Has anyone with some expertise in statistics looked at this page? Carl Wivagg ( talk) 21:24, 9 September 2010 (UTC)
- You may have seen that there was already a proposal to merge this ( Data-snooping bias ) with Data dredging, that seemed to receive some support. (This discussion at Talk:Data dredging seems later than that refered to immediately above.) One consideration is the categories (specifically Category:Bias, Category:Cognitive biases ) in which this article is presently placed, and it may be better to have a stand-alone article, findable via such a category, rather being part of an article with much more extensive coverage.
