Abstract

A considerable amount of attention has recently been focused on addressing issues related to data fraud. As this specific example shows, statistical analysis can be used to determine when data fabrication, falsification or plagiarism has occurred. Presented here is an example of statistical data analysis showing how the original data (HI data) set, reported as being fabricated, was in fact statistically shown to be valid/real data; while another set of data (Hansen data) was reported as fabricated and was statistically shown to be falsified and plagiarized from the original HI data. This particular case looked at changes in weight related to a diet study – with implications for its impact on heart disease and cancer–as evidenced by the involvement of Revival Soy and Avon.
