Can anyone explain the difference between the two of these?
In Prevalence bias ( a form of selection bias) you're selecting a population that doesn't include everyone because the worst cases have died, or there is a high fatality rate.
On the other hand Late-Look bias means the people responding to your survey don't include the dead people. I also read that Recall Bias is a form of Late-Look bias? Is that true and how so? I especially don't get that part about recall bias, because based on my understanding recall is a procedural bias while late-look is a selectional bias.
Thanks.
