    [11] [12] Anchoring bias includes or involves the following: Common source bias, the tendency to combine or compare research studies from the same source, or from sources that use the same methodologies or data. [13] Conservatism bias, the tendency to insufficiently revise one's belief when presented with new evidence. [5] [14] [15]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misleading_graph

    A perspective (3D) pie chart is used to give the chart a 3D look. Often used for aesthetic reasons, the third dimension does not improve the reading of the data; on the contrary, these plots are difficult to interpret because of the distorted effect of perspective associated with the third dimension.

  4. Survivorship bias - Wikipedia

    In 1996, Elton, Gruber, and Blake showed that survivorship bias is larger in the small-fund sector than in large mutual funds (presumably because small funds have a high probability of folding). [8] They estimate the size of the bias across the U.S. mutual fund industry as 0.9% per annum, where the bias is defined and measured as:

    Scalable Vector Graphics are well suited to simple geometric images, while photographs do not fare well with vectorization due to their complexity. Note that the special characteristics of vectors allow for greater resolution example images. The other algorithms are standardized to a resolution of 160x160 and 218x80 pixels respectively.

    Otero first published the Media Bias Chart, a graphic which helped viewers visualize media bias in the United States, on the blog. The Media Bias Chart became a viral phenomenon on the Imgur image sharing service in December 2016, [2] and Otero founded Ad Fontes Media to serve as the publisher of the chart. [3]

  8. Propensity score matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propensity_score_matching

    Caliper matching: comparison units within a certain width of the propensity score of the treated units get matched, where the width is generally a fraction of the standard deviation of the propensity score; Radius matching: all matches within a particular radius are used -- and reused between treatment units.

  9. Matching (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matching_(statistics)

    Overmatching, or post-treatment bias, is matching for an apparent mediator that actually is a result of the exposure. [12] If the mediator itself is stratified, an obscured relation of the exposure to the disease would highly be likely to be induced. [13] Overmatching thus causes statistical bias. [13]
