An error having a non-zero mean, so that its effect is not reduced when observations are averaged.
Example sentencesExamples
- Randomization eliminates the effects of systematic errors in many experiments.
- Any bias in the instrument would produce a systematic error which would be present in all observations.
- The trade-off is therefore between systematic error and random error.
- The order of measurements was randomized to help eliminate systematic errors resulting from metabolism of glucose in vitro.
- Furthermore, systematic errors are introduced if the assumed substitution model of the tree reconstruction method is not consistent with the evolutionary dynamics of the analyzed sequences.
