survivor

You are correct that most bootstrapped companies that have launched end up supporting themselves; that's survivor bias in action.

Your real age is not Your chronological age (cage) of 22; it is Your survivor age (sage) of 78.

If you liked this short story at all, go buy Choke or Survivor by Chuck Palahniuk.

Yeah there's some survivor bias, but the materials used to make things in the olden days was just better material.

For example, if you are a survivor of many types of cancer, private health insurance is unavailable at any price.

As far as measuring this survivor bias, you might gain some insight by randomly altering the order of the testing.

Hi Mehr, I'm a leukemia survivor (AML) and was diagnosed when I was 21 and in undergrad, roughly 8 years ago.

> The survivor bias is non-existent, The person most likely to harm your child is your other child.

To be honest, as a survivor of childhood lymphoma, I ought to be dead, had I been born even 25 years earlier.

I'm not a survivor, I've been made new all over again.

Now, I agree that survivor bias could affect the quality of these results (we know nothing about the significant % of people who dropped out).

In all likelihood, both of your correlations are low, but the idea that coding is less predictive than a quiz could be purely a statistical fluke due to survivor bias.

Survivor bias is really at work with "leadership" books or books about why x company is amazing.

Honestly I'm glad they don't watch "Survivor" and make us eat bugs or do weird obstacle courses.

Let's get close to it!" I nominate them for At-Risk Survivor status on Darwin Award page.

But really, and there may be some "survivor bias" involved here, I think it's a very well done system for what it does, and I am generally able to reason pretty clearly about what's going on and help others figure out what their issues are.

Survivor bias is ignoring the invisible failures in your correlation analysis.
