  2. External validity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_validity

    External validity is the validity of applying the conclusions of a scientific study outside the context of that study. [1] In other words, it is the extent to which the results of a study can generalize or transport to other situations, people, stimuli, and times.

  3. Bias (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias_(statistics)

    Detection bias occurs when a phenomenon is more likely to be observed for a particular set of study subjects. For instance, the syndemic involving obesity and diabetes may mean doctors are more likely to look for diabetes in obese patients than in thinner patients, leading to an inflation in diabetes among obese patients because of skewed detection efforts.

  4. Validity (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Validity_(statistics)

    Validity [5] of an assessment is the degree to which it measures what it is supposed to measure. This is not the same as reliability, which is the extent to which a measurement gives results that are very consistent. Within validity, the measurement does not always have to be similar, as it does in reliability.

  5. Cross-validation (statistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-validation_(statistics)

    The reason for the success of the swapped sampling is a built-in control for human biases in model building. In addition to placing too much faith in predictions that may vary across modelers and lead to poor external validity due to these confounding modeler effects, these are some other ways that cross-validation can be misused:

  6. Bias - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bias

    Cultural bias is the related phenomenon of interpreting and judging phenomena by standards inherent to one's own culture. Numerous such biases exist, concerning cultural norms for color, location of body parts, mate selection, concepts of justice, linguistic and logical validity, acceptability of evidence, and taboos. Ordinary people may tend ...

  7. Ecological validity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_validity

    Ecological validity, the ability to generalize study findings to the real world, is a subcategory of external validity. [ 6 ] Another example highlighting the differences between these terms is from an experiment that studied pointing [ 7 ] —a trait originally attributed uniquely to humans—in captive chimpanzees.

  8. Qaim Khani Colony - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qaim_Khani_Colony

    Qaim Khani (Urdu: قائم خانی) is one of the neighbourhoods of SITE Town in Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan. [1] Qaimkhani or Kaimkhani (also spelled Qaim Khani and Kaim Khani) is a Muslim community that claims to be Muslim Rajputs. They converted to Islam in the 13th century. [2] [3]

  9. Internal validity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_validity

    Internal validity, therefore, is more a matter of degree than of either-or, and that is exactly why research designs other than true experiments may also yield results with a high degree of internal validity. In order to allow for inferences with a high degree of internal validity, precautions may be taken during the design of the study.
