英文摘要:
We theoretically analyze the problem of testing for $p$-hacking based on distributions of $p$-values across multiple studies. We provide general results for when such distributions have testable restrictions (are non-increasing) under the null of no $p$-hacking. We find novel additional testable restrictions for $p$-values based on $t$-tests. Specifically, the shape of the power functions results in both complete monotonicity as well as bounds on the distribution of $p$-values. These testable restrictions result in more powerful tests for the null hypothesis of no $p$-hacking. When there is also publication bias, our tests are joint tests for $p$-hacking and publication bias. A reanalysis of two prominent datasets shows the usefulness of our new tests.

中文摘要:
我们从理论上分析了基于跨多个研究的$p$值分布的$p$黑客测试问题。我们提供了在无$p$-黑客攻击为空的情况下,此类发行版具有可测试限制(非递增)的一般结果。我们发现了基于$t$测试的$p$值的新的额外可测试限制。具体而言,幂函数的形状导致完全单调性以及$p$-值分布的界。这些可测试的限制导致对无美元黑客攻击的无效假设进行更有力的测试。当存在出版偏见时,我们的测试是针对$p$-黑客攻击和出版偏见的联合测试。对两个重要数据集的再分析显示了我们新测试的有用性。
