The phrase "a biased set" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when referring to a collection of items, data, or opinions that are influenced by personal feelings or opinions rather than being based on objective criteria.
Example: "The study's findings were questionable due to the use of a biased set of survey responses that did not represent the entire population."
Alternatives: "a skewed collection" or "a partial group".
Finally and most importantly, we may have included a biased set of large physiological cupping eyes, as eyes with additional anatomic features (such as violation of the ISNT rule) may have been more likely to be followed clinically for possible glaucoma than those with large physiological cupping but no other features.
Although there is no evidence to suggest that the gene pairs in our study are a biased set in terms of conserved versus diverged subcellular localization, such a bias is possible from a relatively small sample of duplicated genes that could result in an underestimate or overestimate of the percentage with subcellular relocalization.
On the contrary, a concern is that, owing to their opportunistic nature, many phase I or II studies would only be registered if they identify a significant finding, resulting in a biased set of registered phase I and II studies, akin to the problem of publication bias.
First, HapMap examines a biased set of SNPs [16].
Furthermore, a biased set of duplicates will be recovered such that those with high sequence similarity will be over-represented.
However, several later studies refuted this notion and suggest that Leclerc et al. [ 6] used a biased set of microsatellite markers [ 7, 8].
A highly biased set of Boolean functions is observed in simulations of networks of various sizes, suggesting a new characterization of the subset of Boolean functions that are likely to appear in gene regulatory networks.
These arrays included a severely biased set of CpGs located in known cancer-associated genes and CpGs located almost exclusively in CpG island promoter regions, respectively.
Note that the detection of transcripts is not conditioned on a possibly biased set of probes nor on the resolution of the array.
Finally, data available from shotgun sequence, such as the reads we used, will reveal a much less biased set of var genes than those revealed by targeted PCR [ 5, 7].
The company behind the app acknowledged that the filter's algorithm had been trained using a biased data set — meaning the algorithm had learned what beauty was from faces that were predominantly white.
