Anal Canal
A category of systematic error due to differences in the quality of information obtained from different groups in a study, particularly common in case control studies.
Reporting (or recall) error (or bias)
The distortion of the relationship between two factors brought about by their mutual relationship with a third factor.
Confounding
Systematic error due to differences between those chosen for study and those not chosen.
Selection (or referral) error (or bias)
The error of wrongly rejecting the null hypothesis when it is true, i.e., declaring that there is a significant difference (or a significant association) when in reality there is not.
Alpha (or type 1) error
The error of wrongly accepting the null hypothesis when it is false, i.e., declaring that there is no significant difference (or a significant association) when in reality there is.
Beta (or type 2) error
