Disentangling jet modification in jet simulations and in Z+jet data by Brewer, Jasmine, Brodsky, Quinn, Rajagopal, Krishna

“…In this work, we study and quantify the impact of this selection bias on jet substructure observables so as to isolate effects caused by the modification of the substructure of jets by quenching. …”

Assessment of prognostic models for patients with acute pulmonary embolism by Elias, A

“…The survey showed that emergency physicians still rely mostly on their own clinical judgment when deciding about early discharge or complete outpatient management and the case-ascertainment study showed that if case-ascertainment is incomplete, selection bias may mean that event rates and prognosis will be underestimated, prognostic models will be overoptimistic and the results of different studies cannot be compared, contrasted or combined reliably. …”

DETERMINATION OF DARK MATTER TYPE BY X-RAY SOURCES STATISTICS by A.V. Tugay

“…The type of DM is inspected with the Xgal sample of 5021 X-ray emitting galaxies observed by XMM-Newton. The selection bias of this sample is also analyzed.…”

Impact of improved seed and inorganic fertilizer on maize yield and welfare: Evidence from Eastern Ethiopia by Musa Hasen Ahmed

“…The study uses primary data of maize farmers and a multinomial endogenous switching regression model to account for selection bias. The findings show that combining the two technologies boosts maize yield and consumption expenditure significantly than adopting the technologies in isolation. …”

Exploiting the Relationship between Farm-Level Yields and County-Level Yields for Applied Analysis by Scott Gerlt, Wyatt Thompson, Douglas Miller

“…County-level yield data are used in applied research and crop insurance policy in place of farm-level yield data, which are likely sparse, not broadly representative, and subject to selection bias. We exploit the fact that county-level yields are the aggregate of farm-level yields to derive bounds that can be reduced to direct relationships between county- and farm-level yields under certain conditions. …”

Case-Control Studies by Alonso Soto, Aleksandar Cvetkovic-Vega

“…Some variants of this design, such as incident and nested case studies and nested case-control studies (within a cohort) can reduce the risk of selection bias. The basic concepts related to this type of studies are reviewed.…”

Access to Credit and Economic Well-Being of Rural Households: Evidence from Eastern India by Anjani Kumar, Ashok K. Mishra, Vinay K. Sonkar, Sunil Saroj

“…We evaluate the impact of access to credit on rural households' annual income using an endogenous switching regression approach, an increasingly popular method of tackling the selection bias issue in impact analyses. Using a large survey of rural households in eastern India, we find that access to credit is strongly associated with rural households' socioeconomic and demographic characteristics. …”
