p(-value) hacking

Also called data dredging, data fishing. Manipulate the data to convince audience some statistically.
P-value indicates the probability of the current value occurs in the given distribution. Usually p<0.05 implies the sampling/hypothesis is biased and unacceptable.

Semi-Variogram: Nugget, Range and Sill

[Ref] Semi-variogram is 1/2 squared difference between all data pairs over spatial distance. It originates in Geographic Information System illustrating relationship between data correlation versus spatial distance.
{Ref} says the intercept at 0 distance is Nugget, standing for microscopic uncertainty beyond measurement details limit. And Sill is

Likelihood

A reversed version of probability to evaluate the chance an hypothesis is acceptable.
This example from U of McGill is illustrative.
