Bias

Bias

Svensk definition

Avvikelse från resultaten eller slutledningarna av fakta, eller processer som leder till sådan avvikelse. Det kan finnas flera källor till bias: ensidiga eller systematiska mätvariationer av det sanna värdet (systematiskt fel); brister i utformningen av studien; fel i slutledning, tolkning eller analys pga felaktiga data eller brister i datainsamlingen. Ingen subjektivitet anses dock föreligga vid bedömning av bias under dessa omständigheter.

Engelsk definition

Any deviation of results or inferences from the truth, or processes leading to such deviation. Bias can result from several sources: one-sided or systematic variations in measurement from the true value (systematic error); flaws in study design; deviation of inferences, interpretations, or analyses based on flawed data or data collection; etc. There is no sense of prejudice or subjectivity implied in the assessment of bias under these conditions.
