Thanks to an odd methodological quirk in exit polling, this underlying problem ultimately biases the rest of the survey, along with the analysis that follows.
Decantation removes these particles along with other fine particles, ultimately biasing the method to retain larger sized particles within the collected size range.
More troubling, the set of assumptions, such as filtering, may be based on the performance of those genes in one platform over the genes that might have been chosen by the other, ultimately biasing the analysis to favor a potentially spurious result.
Consequently, residence-based non-ambient generated sources of PM (such as environmental tobacco smoke and cooking) and occupational sources (such as diesel exhaust) that we were unable to account for in this study are likely to result in non-differential misclassifications of total personal exposure to PM, ultimately biasing associations towards the null.
Given the fact that CpG dinucleotides mutate at higher rates due to the deamination of 5-methylcytosine to thymidine, it is important to remove SNP sites before analysis of methylation data, as their inclusion in downstream analyses could result in incorrect methylation estimates, ultimately biasing results, particularly for studies in which differential methylation analysis is performed.
It therefore remains a challenge to develop theoretical models to explain precisely how effector independent value representations in areas like OFC and ACC ultimately bias the accumulation of evidence in favor of selecting a particular action.
Finally, there are experimental evidences showing that the nutritional composition of EFN can alter foraging preferences of ants, enabling plants to manipulate the prey preferences of their mutualistic partners; in this way, plants could ultimately bias prey selection of the ants towards herbivores, competitors or predators that pose the greatest risk to the plant (Wilder and Eubanks 2010).
This could potentially result in a selection bias and ultimately in biased diagnostic estimates.
It is reasonable to consider that a primer:template interaction that has a tendency to be of the A form or a primer:template interaction that can be more easily conformed to the A form is preferentially bound by the DNA polymerase, ultimately resulting in biased amplification.
Some have argued that further research into the model organisms that dominate much of biomedical research today could fill in the many gaps that exist in our understanding of life, but these organisms give a biased and ultimately poor statistical representation of the ∼30 million species of animals that populate our planet (Brusca and Brusca, 2003).
