In class, we discussed how p-values could have a surprising effect on determining what risk factors and treatments are published, by affecting what type of bias? Selection bias recall bias publication bias detection bias Cells from a malignant tumor have on average 60 different mutations. That is a lot! All of a cancer cell\'s mutations are important for metastasis. True False A program in a small, rural county has been providing free cancer screening for the past 8 years. Surprisingly, a study found a small, but statistically significant, higher incident rate of breast cancer among women in this county, relative to the surrounding rural counties without this free service. Quite likely, for which potential bias did the study not account? Detection bias Experimenter Bias Judgmental Bias Recall bias the prevalence is a function of a type of cancer\'s incidence rate and detection methods bouts of remission survival rate all of the above

Solution

1. publication bias

2. False

3. Recall bias
