Collection of data for statistical analysis [on hold]

I have a very fundamental question about statistical analysis:



When collecting data for an analysis, how can we guarantee the authenticity of the results of statistical processing/analysis in a modern society where I guess it is easy to collect only data convenient for the hypothesis we have?



I have tried to come up with numerous explanations with independence etc. But none of them make sense.



Thanks.

    You need to use good principles of experimental design or observational study design.

SQL update select statement

Image
0 I'm trying to update an entry in my database (postgresql). I'm having a problem with updating the query: INSERT INTO prices (price, product_id) SELECT product_price, commn_id FROM products_temp as prod WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM prices od WHERE prod.commn_id = od.product_id) OR prod.product_price != ( SELECT price FROM prices as p WHERE p.product_id = prod.commn_id order by p.end desc LIMIT 1 ) Query works fine when i delete: OR prod.product_price != ( SELECT price FROM prices as p WHERE p.product_id = prod.commn_id order by p.end desc LIMIT 1 ) So it seems to me that it's looping through this operation. My question is, how can I fix it? sql postgresql
