How can you use “length-biased” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Continuing with the analogy, suppose there are two types of buses: slow local buses that frequently stop at B, and fast express buses that rarely stop at B. Because a bus boarded at B is most likely local, the average time it takes to travel from C to D (thus the lead time has been subtracted) will be a length-biased estimate of the averages of the local and express travel times from C to D.
The latter cases are presumably slower growing (a type of length-biased sampling) with better survival, so using only the interval cancers artificially increases the estimated cancer-fatality rate in the absence of screening.
