curprev 23:0823:08, 25 February 2022 134.69.232.191 talk 19,005 bytes −64 The statement that the multiple comparisons problem is also known as the look-elsewhere effect is unsourced. Moreover, I don't think it's quite true. I think the look-elsewhere effect is more like one form of the multiple comparisons problem, not an outright synonym for the multiple comparisons problem. undo
curprev 23:0323:03, 25 February 2022 134.69.232.191 talk 19,069 bytes −96 Undid revision 1073881637 by Ffffrr (talk) I don't think that's a good description. For one thing, "fallacy" doesn't seem like the right word. There's nothing "fallacious" about considering a set of inferences simultaneously. The multiple comparisons problem (problem, not "fallacy") occurs when simultaneous inferences are made without regard for the number of inferences. undo Tag: Undo
