Verification bias by Wikipedia Bot 0
Verification bias occurs in research, particularly in diagnostic studies, when there is a systematic difference in how the outcomes of a diagnostic test are verified based on the results it produces. Essentially, it arises when the methods used to confirm or validate the accuracy of a test depend on the test's initial results, leading to potentially distorted or skewed findings.
