	U.S. Patent: 5081980 - Plunger arrow rest - January 21, 1992
		biasing means engaging the projecting portion of the wire to bias the projecting portion of the wire against the cushion plunger assembly and to thereby bias the wire to a resting pivotal position.
		Projection 54 lies against elongated sleeve 16, thus forming limiting means for limiting rearward pivoting of arrow support wire 14 from the resting pivotal position.
		Projection 54 is pivoted away from elongated sleeve 16 against the bias of elastic band 56, thus minimizing forward resistance of arm 52 against forward moving arrow 62.

	An Examination of Short-Term Employment Projections Accuracy
		Bias is defined as the average amount of projection error observed in each industry (i.e., the number of jobs).
		Although bias and absolute percentage error provide valuable insights into projection accuracy, it is also important that the anticipated changes [either positive or negative] in employment in both actual and projected values are in the same direction.
		A matched projection is one where the projected and actual employment changes occurred in the same direction (i.e., employment was projected to grow and actually grew), while an unmatched projection moves in the opposite direction of actual changes (i.e., employment was projected to grow but actually fell).

	List of cognitive biases - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Disconfirmation bias - the tendency for people to extend critical scrutiny to information which contradicts their prior beliefs and accept uncritically information that is congruent with their prior beliefs.
		Outcome bias - the tendency to judge a decision by its eventual outcome instead of based on the quality of the decision at the time it was made.
		Projection bias - the tendency to unconsciously assume that others share the same or similar thoughts, beliefs, values, or positions.

	Device for joining surfaces of a split rim in a wheel - Patent 4165777
		The annular projection 25 has an inner annular projection 26 adapted to bias the seal ring 24 in the direction of the wheel axis and an outer annular projection 27 to cover the radial outer periphery of the seal ring 24.
		Furthermore, since the inside diameter d.sub.1 of the outer annular projection 27 is greater than the outside diameter d.sub.2 of the seal ring 24, there is no fear that the seal ring 24 may engage or contact the outer annular projection 27.
		The depth A of the annular recess 20 in the direction of the wheel axis is shorter than the sum of the diameter D in section of the ring 24 and the thickness B of the inner projection 26 in the direction of the wheel axis, that is, the relationship of A

	Adaptive speech recognition method with noise compensation - Patent 6662160
		The parameters of the speech model are adapted by the optimal equalization factor and a bias compensation vector, which is corresponding to and retrieved by the optimal equalization factor.
		The method as claimed in claim 1, wherein, in step (B), the bias compensation vector is retrieved from a reference function table by using a corresponding optimal equalization factor as an index, so as to adjust the direction of the mean vector and remove projection bias.
		In step S13, the optimal equalization factor.lambda..sub.e is used as a relational reference index to retrieve the corresponding bias compensation vector b(.lambda..sub.e) from the reference function table 12 for further adjusting the direction change of the mean vector of the speech model 11, thereby removing the projection bias.

	Chronically Biased - Media Bias Indicators
		Projection -- Reporters sometimes use a non-specific source to give credence to an idea that may only be circulating in the press corps.
		As a reader points out, whether a newspaper places a story on Page One or in the lawn mower ads can be reflective of the importance editors want readers to assign to the story, and it may reflect their beliefs rather than newsworthiness.
		Insufficient attribution -- While not a form of bias per se, it most certainly is a poor journalistic practice (verging on plagiarism) for columnists simply to rewrite the columns from another newspaper, using entire quotes and, in some cases, whole phrases, without even identifying the author of the original article.

		We present evidence from a variety of domains which demonstrates the prevalence of such projection bias, develop a formal model of it, and use this model to demonstrate its importance in economic environments.
		We show that, when people exhibit habit formation, projection bias leads people to consume too much early in life, and to decide, as time passes, to consume more --- and save less --- than originally planned.
		Projection bias can also lead to misguided purchases of durable goods.

		Stanovich suggests that this lack of a correlation between projection bias and cognitive ability supports the view that projection is a rational strategy for inductive reasoning.

	Projection estimates of multivariate location, Jorge Adrover, Víctor Yohai
		In this paper we study the maximum asymptotic bias of the projection estimate for multivariate location based on univariate estimates of location and dispersion.
		In particular we study the projection estimate that uses the median and median absolute deviation about the median (MAD) as univariate location and dispersion estimates respectively.
		For spherical distributions the maximum bias of this estimate depends only on the marginal distributions, and not on the dimension, and is approximately twice the maximum bias of the univariate median.

	Equivocality » 2005 » February
		By subconsciously attributing these unwanted thoughts and ideas on other people, one may be comforted by the false fact that they are not alone, or that there is someone else they can direct their anger towards instead of themselves.
		Projection (or projection bias) can be defined as unconsciously assuming that others share the same or similar thoughts, beliefs, values, or positions on any given subject.
		Sometimes this is the innocent result of laziness (of which I can be guilty), but in many cases, it’s due to the fact that the person actually refuses to believe anything else to be true.

	A multitrait-multisource confirmatory factor analytic approach to the construct validity of ADHD and ODD rating scales ...
		A good measure should contain a substantial amount of trait variance and, as we explain later, more trait than source variance (for the moment, we will ignore the realistic possibility that children's behavior may be situationally specific and thus fail to generalize across the home/parent source and school/teacher source situations).
		Source effects are usually considered a form of bias associated with characteristics of the rater (e.g., halo effects, projection bias, response bias; Greenbaum et al., 1994).
		Rather than bias, such source effects could represent meaningful variance that needs to be incorporated into the theory of the particular construct (e.g., Dishion, Burraston, and Li, 2002).

	Mercurial Conscious Commandment
		A thorough understanding of the inherently subjective nature of knowledge -- especially psychological knowledge -- is a prerequisite and basic acknowledgment for the analytical discernment of any psyche (analytical discernment refers to the comprehension of a persona or psyche of an individual devoid of personal projection bias from subjective beliefs from the observer).
		Secondly, without a thorough and holistic awareness of the entire self (the observing self) we must necessarily function from a value judgment perspective, simply because we are not completely aware of the parameters of our own psyche, and the subjective value judgments the observer may have internalized through attachment or early environmental schema.
		Analytical discernment is the ability to separate, discriminate, and discern the projection of one's own beliefs and parameters of thought, from the accurate observation of a belief system or parameter of thought of the observed psyche.

	SSRN-A Theory of Self-Control Problems and Incomplete Contracting: The Case of Shareholder Contracts by Manuel Utset
		In particular, the Article identifies two types of self-control sources of contractual incompleteness: serial procrastination and the projection bias.
		The projection bias - the tendency to project current preferences onto future ones - can lead contracting parties to project their initial preference - colored by feelings of trust, mutual cooperation, and optimism - onto their future preferences, thereby distorting their predictions of how their preferences may evolve during the transaction.
		This can lead contracting parties to systematically underappreciate the extent to which their preferences may change, as unforeseen (or unattended) contingencies give way to tempting opportunism and to discord, anger, or vengeance.

	Amazon.com: Rhumb Lines and Map Wars: A Social History of the Mercator Projection: Books: Mark Monmonier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		His prime example of the rhetorical role of maps is the "map war" of 30 years ago over whether the familiar Mercator projection, with its inescapable distortion of the size of countries, is Eurocentric and diminishes the significance of Third World nations.
		If that weren't enough, Peters' projection displayed a Eurocentric bias in some ways more pronounced and deliberate than Mercator projection: after all, Mercator projection has no standard parallels to choose, but Peter projection requires a choice of standard parallels: Lambert, in originally formulating the cylindrical equal-area projection, chose the equator by default.
		It is thus not out of sympathy for the cause of Peters-enthusiasts or antipathy to the cause of the professional cartographers that I report that Rhumb Lines and Map Wars is too driven by anti-Peters zeal to offer a fully useful history of the contreversies.

		Psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defence mechanism in which one attributes ("projects") to others, one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions.
		According to the theories of Sigmund Freud, it is a psychological defense mechanism whereby one "projects" one's own undesirable thoughts, motivations, desires, feelings—basically parts of oneself—onto someone else (usually another person, but psychological projection onto animals, inanimate objects - even religious constructs - also occurs).
