Epidemiological Errors and Biases

Fundamentals of Epidemiological Error

• Bias: A systematic error that results in an incorrect estimate of the association between exposure and disease.
• Random Error: Fluctuations around a true value due to chance. These can be reduced by increasing the sample size.

• Non-response Bias: This occurs when those who choose to participate
