Joseph Berkson was an American statistician known for his contributions to the fields of epidemiology and biostatistics. He is particularly famous for the development of the Berkson's bias, a type of selection bias that can occur in case-control studies and other types of observational studies. This bias arises when a sample is selected in a way that does not properly represent the population, often due to the way cases and controls are defined or selected, leading to misleading conclusions about associations between exposures and outcomes.
