Important: Scientific proof of data manipulation by Ammar Maleki, Assistant Professor of Tilburg University, in her recent survey (through Gamaan’s Group) about Iran   A group of highly qualified scientists from the Empirical Research & Forecasting Institute (ERFI) have created a video clip report analyzing surveys about Iran conducted since 2019. In the report, the section that stands out for its scientific value is the survey conducted by Mr. Ammar Maleki, an Assistant Professor at Tilburg University in the Netherlands, and his group Gamaan (starting at minute 2:04). According to the report, there were noticeable inconsistencies in Ammar Maliki's findings regarding Iran, which differed from other observations and surveys. To determine the accuracy of the data, the researchers at ERFI utilized Benford's law, a widely recognized testing method for detecting fake data. This scientific test, also widely used in politics for the numerical evaluation of election results, is employed to evaluate the trueness of statistical results based on Benford's Law [1]. After conducting Benford's test on Ammar Maliki's results, it is evident that they significantly violate Benford's Law, as shown in the picture below. The report explains how Mr. Maleki created false data in his survey by imitating certain patterns. This is why Prince Reza Pahlavi's popularity in Maleki's survey is only 32%, while other surveys show much higher numbers, with the lowest being 65%. Based on such scientific evidence, it is apparent that Ammar Maleki and his group Gamaan are guilty of "data manipulation." This unethical behavior distorts and influences the opinions of Iranians in favor of Maleki's personal beliefs and political orientation. Such actions constitute scientific fraud and ethical misconduct, significantly damaging the reputation of Tilburg University and the scientific community at large. [1] https://t.co/Lk5xePgyed
