What is cherry-picking, P-hacking, and significance chasing?
Cherry-picking can be defined as the practice in statistics where only that information is selected which supports a certain claim and ignores any other claim that refutes the desired conclusion.
P-hacking refers to a technique in which data collection or analysis is manipulated until significant patterns can be found who have no underlying effect whatsoever.
Significance chasing is also known by the names of Data Dredging, Data Fishing, or Data Snooping. It refers to the reporting of insignificant results as if they are almost significant.
