What are some common types of bias that can occur in data?

Can you explain selection bias?

Selection bias occurs when the sample collected is not representative of the population intended to be analyzed, leading to skewed results.

What about confirmation bias?

Confirmation bias is the tendency to search for, interpret, and remember information that confirms one's preexisting beliefs, often ignoring contradictory evidence.

How can we mitigate these biases in data analysis?

To mitigate biases, ensure diverse data collection, use random sampling, and apply statistical techniques to adjust for known biases.
