The proportionality bias, also known as major event/major cause heuristic, is the tendency to assume that big events have big causes. It is a type of cognitive...

Cognitive biases are systematic patterns of deviation from norm and/or rationality in judgment. They are often studied in psychology, sociology and behavioral...

between the measurements and the true value (i.e., proportional bias). The existence of proportional bias indicates that the methods do not agree equally...

In electronics, biasing is the setting of DC (direct current) operating conditions (current and voltage) of an electronic component that processes time-varying...

exploits several important cognitive biases, including proportionality bias, attribution bias, and confirmation bias. Their arguments often take the form...

In statistics, the bias of an estimator (or bias function) is the difference between this estimator's expected value and the true value of the parameter...

A status quo bias or default bias is a cognitive bias which results from a preference for the maintenance of one's existing state of affairs. The current...

transistors must be properly biased to operate correctly. In circuits made with individual devices (discrete circuits), biasing networks consisting of resistors...

i.e. a party with 30% of votes would receive 30% of seats. Exact proportionality is not possible because only whole seats can be distributed. Different...

The development of conspiracy theories is further prompted by the proportionality bias that results from climate change — an event of mass scale and a great...

Proportionality for solid coalitions (PSC) is a criterion of proportionality for ranked voting systems. It is an adaptation of the quota rule to voting...

a constant, i.e. the hazards are proportional. Often there is an intercept term (also called a constant term or bias term) used in regression models....

can also lead to bias. By selecting papers with significant p-values, negative studies are selected against, which is publication bias. This is also known...

system, an election by STV does not guarantee proportionality across all districts. If proportionality is measured by looking at first preference votes...

big as it is now, it will grow 10 times as fast. If the constant of proportionality is negative, then the quantity decreases over time, and is said to...

Bias in the introduction of variation ("arrival bias") is a theory in the domain of evolutionary biology that asserts biases in the introduction of heritable...

hypothesis tests are invalid. This is known as attenuation bias. Bias (statistics) Cognitive bias Correction for measurement error (for Pearson correlations)...

pinching that leads to current saturation behavior under high source–drain bias, even though the current is never off. Unlike pinch off, the term threshold...

conservatism bias is a bias which refers to the tendency to revise one's belief insufficiently when presented with new evidence. This bias describes human...

against bias is the need to maintain public confidence in the legal system. Bias can take the form of actual bias, imputed bias, or apparent bias. Actual...

In social psychology, illusory superiority is a cognitive bias wherein people overestimate their own qualities and abilities compared to others. Illusory...

which are of whole numbers, are as proportional as possible. Although all of these methods approximate proportionality, they do so by minimizing different...

Seat bias is a property describing methods of apportionment. These are methods used to allocate seats in a parliament among federal states or among political...

The Lutz–Kelker bias is a supposed systematic bias that results from the assumption that the probability of a star being at distance s {\displaystyle s}...

In evolutionary biology, developmental bias refers to the production against or towards certain ontogenetic trajectories which ultimately influence the...
