= Anecdotal evidence
{wiki=Anecdotal_evidence}
Anecdotal evidence refers to evidence based on personal accounts, observations, or stories rather than scientific research or statistical analysis. It involves individual experiences or testimonials that may illustrate a point but lack rigorous methodological backing. While anecdotal evidence can provide insights and help generate hypotheses, it is often considered weak as a form of evidence due to its subjective nature and potential for bias.
