Sampling Bias in Machine Learning
Understanding Sampling Bias Sampling bias is like representation bias, which arises from the non-random sampling of subgroups. Because of sampling bias, the trends estimated for one population may not generalise to data collected from a new population Mehrabi et al. (2021). Example of Sampling Bias in Machine Learning Sample Bias occurs when a correlation […]
