Length time bias

Length time bias is a form of selection bias, a statistical distortion of results that can lead to incorrect conclusions about the data. Length time bias can occur when the lengths of intervals are analysed by selecting intervals that occupy randomly chosen points in time or space. That process favors longer intervals and so skews the data.
