The researchers found that the models could predict blood pressure with a
measurement bias of 0.39 [+ or -] 7.30 mm Hg, −0.20 [+ or -] 6.00 mm Hg, and 0.52 [+ or -] 6.42 mm Hg for systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse pressure, respectively.
Measurement bias is most recognizable as a faulty measurement outcome from a faulty machine or device such as a computer or piece of electronic equipment.
Real estate prices in Dubai have fallen, even if we correct for the
measurement bias inherent in indices.
The sensing elements in Al2O3 probes and QCMs cannot distinguish between H2O and entrained contaminants resulting in an unavoidable positive
measurement bias which complicates detection of H2O breakthrough in molecular sieve drying systems.
where [ERI.sub.true] and [B.sub.true] are the "true" SST data in the absence of
measurement bias and [ERI.sub.true bias] and [B.sub.true bias] are the "ideal" bias adjustments.
A scatter plot was generated from patient samples, and 95% prediction intervals were calculated to evaluate the commutability of the processed materials and
measurement bias at three concentration levels was used to determine the accuracy of routine assays.
All measurements were manually recorded by the primary researcher while the co-researcher was blind to all measurements, thus there was a possibility of
measurement bias by one researcher.
Yes, 235 ways scientists can fool themselves, with sober names such as confounding, selection bias, recall bias, reporting bias, ascertainment bias, sex bias, cognitive bias,
measurement bias, verification bias, publication bias, observer bias, and on and on.
There are limitations to the study including potential for selection and
measurement bias, so the results should be interpreted with this in mind.
No attempt is made to assign the causes of the bias to the elements of measurer bias or
measurement bias. Measurer bias results when the measurer misapplies the measurement methodology.
A single researcher performed the scoring, with consensus sought only in cases of ambiguity; this potentially introduces
measurement bias but eliminates the possibility of inter-observer error.
