Causal discovery with ancestral graphs by Hu, Z

“…While DAGs excel in illustrating causal relationships, they fail to capture all the conditional independences on the margin in the absence of latent confounders and selection bias. MAGs provide a more comprehensive depiction of complex dependencies by encompassing both direct causal connections and indirect influences stemming from latent variables and selection bias.…”

Evaluating the impact of biodiversity offsetting on native vegetation by Zu Ermgassen, SOSE, Devenish, K, Simmons, BA, Gordon, A, Jones, JPG, Maron, M, Schulte To Bühne, H, Sharma, R, Sonter, LJ, Strange, N, Ward, M, Bull, JW

“…The results highlight the importance of considering self-selection bias in the design and evaluation of regulatory biodiversity offsetting policy, and the challenges of conducting robust impact evaluations of jurisdictional biodiversity offsetting policies.…”

Validation of a prospective cohort study of older adults with hip fractures by Metcalfe, D, Costa, M, Parsons, N, Achten, J, Masters, J, Png, ME, Lamb, S, Griffin, X

“…</br> <br><strong>Conclusion: </strong>There is evidence of a weak selection bias towards recruiting fitter patients within the WHiTE cohort, which will help to put into context the findings of future studies. …”

The impact of health status and smoking behaviour on Indonesian labor wage by Heni Wahyuni

“…We investigate using Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) data and two-step Heckman correction to deal with sample selection bias. We found that there is significance relationships between all socioeconomic variables and wage both for smokers and non-smokers. …”

Astrophysics: is a doomsday catastrophe likely? by Tegmark, M, Bostrom, N

“…Here we derive a new upper bound of one per billion years (99.9% confidence level) for the exogenous terminal-catastrophe rate that is free of such selection bias, using calculations based on the relatively late formation time of Earth.…”

Event dependent overall survival in the population-based LIFE-Adult-Study by Samira Zeynalova, Katja Rillich, Eike Linnebank, Tina Stegmann, Michael Brosig, Matthias Reusche, Markus Loeffler

“…<h4>Results</h4> The mortality rate of the participants is approximately half the mortality rate expected for the german population. The selection bias in epidemiological studies needs to be considered whenever interpreting results of epidemiological cohort studies. …”

Self-reported ill health in male UK Gulf War veterans: a retrospective cohort study by Doyle Pat, Maconochie Noreen, Simmons Rebecca

“…Many studies of post-Gulf morbidity are based on relatively small sample sizes and selection bias is often a concern. In a setting where selection bias relating to the ill health of veterans may be reduced, we: i) examined self-reported adult ill health in a large sample of male UK Gulf War veterans and a demographically similar non-deployed comparison group; and ii) explored self-reported ill health among veterans who believed that they had Gulf War syndrome.…”
