37 results about "Selection bias" patented technology

Selection bias is the bias introduced by the selection of individuals, groups or data for analysis in such a way that proper randomization is not achieved, thereby ensuring that the sample obtained is not representative of the population intended to be analyzed. It is sometimes referred to as the selection effect. The phrase "selection bias" most often refers to the distortion of a statistical analysis, resulting from the method of collecting samples. If the selection bias is not taken into account, then some conclusions of the study may be false.

Model-based matching for removing selection bias in quasi-experimental testing of mobile applications

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for evaluating a performance of a mobile application. During operation, the system obtains a first set of data associated with adopters of a new version of a mobile application in a partial rollout of the new version and a second set of data associated with non-adopters of the new version in the partial rollout. Next, the system applies a statistical model to the first and second sets of data to select a subset of the non-adopters as potential adopters of the new version. The system then reduces a bias in a quasi-experimental design associated with the mobile application by using the first set of data and a third set of data associated with the potential adopters to estimate an average treatment effect (ATE) between the new version and an older version of the mobile application.

Scanning probe microscope

In the present invention, when trace image data is acquired while using a probe (16) to scan an area on a sample (10) in a forward direction and retrace image data is acquired while scanning the samearea in the reverse direction, a deviation information storage unit (32) stores deviation detected by a deviation detection unit (20). This deviation is an indication of the difference between the distance between the probe and the sample and a target value for the distance at a given point in time. An image data selection unit (31) compares the deviation during forward scanning and the deviationduring reverse scanning for each measurement point, selects the image data acquired during scanning that has the smallest deviation, and stores the same to a storage area (33c) of an image data storage unit (33) as selected image data. An image formation unit (30) creates a sample surface shape image on the basis of the selected image data and displays the same on a display unit (5). As a result,even if there is a steep recess or protrusion on a sample (10) and there is a tracking delay or disturbance in the feedback control for the distance between the probe and the sample, it is possible todisplay an accurate image close to the actual shape of the surface of the sample.
