The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.8K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Confirmation Biases01:31

Confirmation Biases

8.2K
The confirmation bias is the tendency to focus on information that confirms our existing beliefs and ignore information that is inconsistent with our expectations. For example, if you think that your professor is not very nice, you notice all of the instances of rude behavior exhibited by the professor while ignoring the countless pleasant interactions he is involved in on a daily basis. Have you ever fallen prey to the confirmation bias, either as the source or target of such bias?

Hindsight Biases

4.3K
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Bias01:22

Bias

7.4K
Bias refers to any tendency that prevents a question from being considered unprejudiced. In research, bias occurs when one outcome or answer is selected or encouraged over others in sampling or testing. Bias can occur during any research phase, including study design, data collection, analysis, and publication.
In statistics, a sampling bias is created when a sample is collected from a population, and some members of the population are not as likely to be chosen as others (remember, each member...

Adjusting a Traverse01:12

Adjusting a Traverse

386
In the site survey of a four-sided traverse, internal angles are essential to ensure geometric accuracy. The survey revealed that the sum of the measured internal angles was 359 degrees and 48 minutes, which is 12 minutes less than the expected 360 degrees. This discrepancy signals an error likely arising from measurement inaccuracies during the fieldwork.To rectify this error, the adjustment process involved distributing the 12-minute shortfall equally across the four internal angles. By...

Directing Effect of Substituents: meta-Directing Groups01:09

Directing Effect of Substituents: meta-Directing Groups

6.0K
Substituents on the benzene ring that direct an incoming electrophile to undergo substitution at the meta position are called meta directors. All meta directors either have a positive charge on the atom directly bonded to the ring or a partial positive charge. These groups function by withdrawing electrons from the ring through inductive and resonance effects. Consider the carbocation intermediates formed upon the addition of an electrophile on nitrobenzene at the...

Area of Science:

  • Statistics
  • Biostatistics
  • Evidence Synthesis

Background:

  • Bayesian hierarchical models are valuable for meta-analysis bias adjustment.
  • Their complexity and prior sensitivity require systematic application frameworks.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate a Bayesian workflow for applying and assessing bias-adjustment models in meta-analysis.
  • To compare a standard random-effects model with a bias-adjustment model.

Main Methods:

  • Applied a Bayesian workflow to a real-world dataset and a simulation study.
  • Compared a standard random-effects model with a bias-adjustment model.
  • Evaluated model performance using the widely applicable information criterion and credible intervals.

Main Results:

  • Results showed high sensitivity to the prior on bias probability.
  • The random-effects model had better predictive accuracy, while the bias-adjustment model produced wider, more conservative credible intervals.
  • Simulations confirmed parameter recovery with well-specified priors.

Conclusions:

  • The Bayesian workflow provides a principled approach for diagnosing model sensitivities in meta-analysis.
  • It ensures transparent and robust application of complex bias-adjustment models in evidence synthesis.
