SUMMARY:P-hacking: its costs and when it is warranted - Adrian Erasmus (De

DESCRIPTION:P-hacking is a misuse of analytic techniques that may lead to 
 exaggerated experimental results. While it is widely condemned\, some have
  suggested that there are some contexts in which the practice may be warra
 nted. I have three aims in this paper. First\, I provide a sorely needed d
 efinition of p-hacking. Second\, I use philosophical tools from decision t
 heory to articulate the prevalent position on p-hacking and illustrate how
  serious its effects on statistical results can be. And third\, I defend t
 he view that there are scenarios in which p-hacking may be warranted\, wit
 h a particular focus on non-epistemic judgements.
