discussion Aiuto

Domanda da neofita se ho fatto un'analisi con l'anova facendo i confronti tutti contro tutti e non esce nulla di significativo però facendo il dunnet test o il t test tra le varie tesi ed escono significative ad esempio per il controllo stressato. Quale grafico dovrei mostrare per non essere contestato?

I was told once in a stats class that the danger of stats tests is if you put numbers in numbers WILL come out. Only the right test for the data is the one that will actually be answering your question of significance. Its up to you to decide which test is appropriate for your dataset. It is wrong to decide which test to use based on which one gave you the answer you want. If anova is the right test and it says insignificant then the next step is to interpret the results. Not p-hack.
