The Deadly Data Science Sin of Confirmation Bias

It is a type of cognitive bias (pattern of deviation in judgment that occurs in particular situations - leading to perceptual distortion, inaccurate judgment, or illogical interpretation) and represents an error of inductive inference toward confirmation of the hypothesis under study.

Meteorite masquerade Part II – Stardust on a shingle? Micrometeorites collected from a South Pole water well in Antarctica photographed at high magnification in a scanning electron microscope. Credit: Taylor, Herzog and Delaney Two weeks ago Brandon Dunovant, who lives in a Chicago suburb, got the idea to collect the grit that had accumulated on his roof in hopes of finding micrometeorites.
