Biased


Definition:

  • (imp. & p. p.) of Bias

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Such a decrease significantly biased survival (p = 0.001).
  • (2) Even though attempts to generalize the data from childbearing women to women of childbearing age have an inherent conservative bias, the results of our study suggest that 988 women (95% CI 713 to 1336) aged 15 to 44 years in Quebec had HIV infection in 1989.
