Which factors could bias the results of the experiment?
The purpose was otherwise, thus no deliberate selection bias is entailed.
A general gender bias in aspergillosis cases was evident, with rates in males outnumbering those in females for most age groups.
The standard methods are therefore biased, but the magnitude of this bias is unclear.
The fluid particles avoid moving near the fixed wall y = 0, so that as they emerge from the origin they are biased towards the vertical.
However, differences in these biases from one epidemic season to another are unlikely.
This excitatory bias is an order parameter for the induction of state transitions in cortical itinerancy.
This did, however, bias the participants in an unprecedented, at times embarrassing, way.
In our context, their suggestions imply that a likelihood approach with random variety effects reduces bias in the estimation of (fixed) year effects.
