    In aviation accidents and incidents, these contributing actions typically stem from human factor-related mistakes and pilot error, rather than mechanical failure. [ 1 ] [ 7 ] A study conducted by Boeing found that 55% of airline accidents between 1959 and 2005 were caused by such human related factors, while only 17% of accidents were caused by ...

  9. Publication bias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publication_bias

    [4] Many factors contribute to publication bias. [5] [6] For instance, once a scientific finding is well established, it may become newsworthy to publish reliable papers that fail to reject the null hypothesis. [7] Most commonly, investigators simply decline to submit results, leading to non-response bias.
