El sesgo es un peso desproporcionado a favor o en contra de una idea o cosa, generalmente de una manera que es inexacta, de mente cerrada, prejuiciosa o injusta. Los sesgos pueden ser innatos o aprendidos. Las personas pueden desarrollar sesgos a favor o en contra de un individuo, un grupo o una creencia. En la ciencia y la ingeniería, un sesgo es un error sistemático. El sesgo estadístico resulta de un muestreo injusto de una población, o de un proceso de estimación que no da resultados precisos en promedio.
