The data preparation phase of the analysis involved a thorough identification of duplicates in order to avoid inflation of numbers of records and therefore biases in prioritization.
The problem of multifunctionality biasing prioritizations may be at least partly due to the difficulty of obtaining less biased training data.
Despite the fact that simulations show ToxPi to be robust to component errors and resistant to spurious shifts in relative rank, inclusion of slices wherein a preponderance of chemicals have missing data could bias prioritizations toward those having that data.
In the past, the dominance of developed countries in generating research on conservation planning biased approaches toward extensive prioritizations and, where these are actually applied, toward simple governance contexts.
Contrary, curative treatments might have been perceived as more harmful or associated with side effects, which would have introduced a bias towards prioritization of avoiding deterioration.
In addition, BEDROC represents a score that is more representative of compound prioritization, since it is biased towards early enrichment [26].
These estimates can be heavily biased due to differences in searcher efficiency and carcass persistence rates, which may ultimately lead to the incorrect quantification of actual mortality, or to the inadequate prioritization of locations for mitigation.
In addition, the prioritization process included the contributions of each stakeholder, in an effort to prevent the possibility of a few stakeholders taking over the process by producing biased topics for CPG.
Duplication between and within institutes might inflate the numbers of unique records for some of the taxa, leading to bias in the prioritization results.
While all strategies were positively correlated with the number of strategies, this was uniform across the strategies, so bias in the prioritization would be difficult.
Inductive bias refers to the prioritization of some functions over others given prior knowledge regarding a task at hand.
