Selection bias is a kind of error that occurs when the researcher decides who is going to be studied. It is usually associated with research where the selection of participants isn’t random. It is sometimes referred to as the selection effect. It is the distortion of statistical analysis, resulting from the method of collecting samples. If the selection bias is not taken into account, then some conclusions of the study may not be accurate.
The types of selection bias include:
Sampling bias: It is a systematic error due to a non-random sample of a population causing some members of the population to be less likely to be included than others resulting in a biased sample.
Time interval: A trial may be terminated early at an extreme value (often for ethical reasons), but the extreme value is likely to be reached by the variable with the largest variance, even if all variables have a similar mean.

What are the different types of biasing?
Fixed Bias,Self Bias, Forward Bias, Reverse Bias
What is bias through selection and omission?
An editor can express a bias by choosing to use or not to use a specific new item. Within a given story, some details can be ignored, and others included, to give readers or viewers a different opinion about the events reported. If, during a speech, a few people boo, the reaction can be described as, "remarks greeted by jeers" or they can be ignored as "a handful of dissidents." Bias through omission is difficult to detect. Only by comparing news reports from a wide variety of outlets can the form of bias be observed.
What are the characteristics of fixed bias?
It is a bias of a fixed voltage supplied by a separate low-power bias supply. Early radios used a 9 v tapped bias battery. In some amplifiers fixed bias can be dispensed with and the bias voltage is derived from one of the currents in the circuit.
Is a transistor a semiconductor device?
Unfortunately no, it is nonlinear. But with careful selection of bias point, etc. it is usually possible to find a limited range of operation in which it approximates linearity well enough to be acceptable for the application.
Why self bias is not suitable for enhancment type mosfet?
With the E-MOSFET, VGS has to be, 'greater than VGS(th) to get any drain current at all. Therefore, when E-MOSFETs are biased, self-bias, current-source bias, and zero bias cannot be used because these forms of bias depend on the depletion mode of operation. This leaves gate bias, voltage-divider bias, and source bias as the means for biasing E-MOSFETs.
