Nutrition Studies

Warning: This is evil (statistical) work. Do not go to the dark side. Do not try this at home.

This directory contains three files:

File Description
raw_anonymized_data.csv The FFQ and survey data from 54 respondents
p_hacking.R An R script that performs 27,716 regressions
p_values_analysis.csv The output data file listing the p-values

Note: This is an intentionally shady regression analysis, both because of the "p-hacking" or "data mining" behind running more than 27,000 regressions and because the statistics reported were the p-values of the characteristics (the independent variables).

IN OTHER WORDS: THIS IS NOT AN EXAMPLE OF SOUND DATA ANALYSIS.
