bias

GBK English to Hungarian Science Mathematics & Statistics
Definition from Bureau of Justice Assistance:
The extent to which a measurement, sampling, or analytic method systematically underestimates or overestimates the true value of an attribute. FOR EXAMPLE, words, sentence structure, attitudes, and mannerisms may unfairly influence a respondent's answer to a question. Bias in questionnaire data can stem from a variety of other factors, including choice of words, sentence structure, and the sequence of questions.
Example sentences:
Increasing the sample size tends to reduce the sampling error; that is, it makes the sample statistic less variable. However, increasing sample size does not affect survey bias. A large sample size cannot correct for the methodological problems (undercoverage, nonresponse bias, etc.) that produce survey bias. (stattrek.com)
If, for example, the purpose is measuring average household income and the households without a phone have lower average income than others, ignoring the nonphone group will lead to an upward bias of average household income in the population. Of course the size of the bias would probably be limited in this example, because the group of households without a phone connection is small. (rand.org)
The Internet is an attractive mode of data collection to survey researchers due to cost savings and timeliness in comparison with other modes. However, survey estimates are subject to coverage bias if sampled persons with Internet access are systematically different from those without Internet access who were excluded from the survey. (European Survey Research Association)

torzítás

Definition from Bánki:
Torzítás (bias): a becslőfüggvény várható értéke és a sokasági jellemző közötti különbség. Torzítatlan egy becslőfüggvény, ha annak várható értéke megegyezik a becsülni kívánt sokasági jellemzőivel (várható értékével).
Example sentences:
+ A modellből ne hagyjunk ki fontos változót, mert az torzítást okoz – omitted variable bias). Lehetőleg felesleges változót se vonjunk be. + Vegyük figyelembe az adathibákat (okozhat torzítást, nagyobb hibát, vagy mindkettőt egyszerre). (Modellezési alapelvek)
Legyen g : T -> R^k , és a T k-dimenziós statisztika a g(t) egy becslése. Ekkor T torzítása : b_T(t) = E_t(T) - g(t), T torzítatlan, ha a torzítása minden t-re 0, azaz a várható értéke éppen a becsülendõ mennyiség. (cs.elte.hu)
Note from asker:
"now missing"? They could have been now missing, but the doctor saved them.
A near miss in medicine is an event that might have resulted in harm but the problem did not reach the patient because of timely intervention by healthcare providers or the patient or family, or due to good fortune. Near misses may also be referred to as "close calls" or "good catches." https://www.cmpa-acpm.ca/serve/docs/ela/goodpracticesguide/pages/adverse_events/Quality_improvement/learning_from_near_misses-e.html
Uważam, że Dr. Mcullough wyraził się niedokładnie. Po pierwsze on powiedział "non-misses" powtarzając "non" w "non-fatal" z poprzedniego zdania. Może jest lepsze tłumaczenie "near misses" w kontekście medycznym.
Inne tłumaczenia near miss nieomal błąd błąd niedoszły zdarzenie, które zostało wykryte przed przetoczeniem błąd medyczny bez konsekwencji? zdarzenie niedoszłe Proszę zauważyć, że po "near miss" jest "but the doctor saved them," co razem świetnie pasuje.
