Primes¶
- Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy
- A folk pattern named after a Texan barn wall furnished a portable metaphor that epidemiology, statistics, high-energy physics (where it is the "look-elsewhere effect"), finance (out-of-sample backtesting), machine learning (held-out evaluation and pre-registered benchmarks), and meta-science (registered reports) each absorbed into their own practice.
This sourceFormalizes the look-elsewhere effect, the high-energy-physics version of the post-hoc-cluster multiplicity correction.

Mechanisms¶
- Bonferroni-Like Correction
- This is the look-elsewhere effect.
This sourceNames the multiple-search penalty from finding a local excess anywhere in a scanned range as the look-elsewhere effect.
