sampling bias is a bias in which a sample is collected in such a way that some members of the intended population have a lower or higher sampling probability...

self-selection bias arises in any situation in which individuals select themselves into a group, causing a biased sample with nonprobability sampling. It is commonly...

and engineering, a bias is a systematic error. Statistical bias results from an unfair sampling of a population, or from an estimation process that does...

Survivorship bias or survival bias is the logical error of concentrating on entities that passed a selection process while overlooking those that did...

kinds of nonprobability sampling. Consecutive sampling is typically better than convenience sampling in controlling sampling bias. Care needs to be taken...
