# Cognitive biases vs statistical biases
| Type of Bias | Definition | Example |
|-----------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Cognitive Bias | Errors in thinking that arise from cognitive processes | [[Confirmation bias]]: Tendency to seek out information that confirms existing beliefs |
| | | [[Availability bias\|Availability heuristic]]: Overestimation of the importance of readily available information |
| | | [[Anchoring Bias]]: Tendency to rely too heavily on the first piece of information encountered when making decisions |
| | | [[Bandwagon Effect]]: Tendency to do or believe things because many other people do or believe the same things |
| | | [[Framing Effect]]: The way information is presented can influence decision making |
| | | [[Hindsight Bias]]: The tendency to believe, after an event has occurred, that one would have predicted or expected the outcome |
| Statistical Bias| Errors that arise from data collection, analysis, or interpretation | [[Selection bias]]: Sample being analyzed is not representative of the larger population |
| | | [[Measurement bias]]: Flawed data collection or measurement methods |
| | | [[Philosophy/Rationality/Models/Survivorship Bias\|Survivorship Bias]]: Drawing conclusions based only on the data that survives while ignoring the data that does not survive or is missing |
| | | [[Non-Response Bias]]: Occurs when some individuals in the sample do not respond to the survey, leading to a biased sample |
| | | [[Sampling Bias]]: Occurs when the sample is not representative of the population it is intended to represent |
| | | [[Publication Bias]]: Occurs when studies with significant or "interesting" results are more likely to be published than studies with no significant results |
