Data-snooping bias
In statistics, data-snooping bias is a form of statistical bias generated by the misuse of data mining techniques which can lead to bogus results in scientific research. Although data-snooping biases can occur in any field that uses data mining, data snooping biases are a particular concern in finance and medical research, both of which make heavy use of data mining techniques.
