peer agreement (net): +2| nonrandom disappearance of certain biased Explanation: this means that the disappeared subjects did not disappea regardless of their characteristcs - they were for example more males than females, or the oldest or the youngest ones, etc. - for this reason, after these defeats, the control group characteristics were biased (a bias being a systematic error), i.e. they were no more randomly ditributed - hence the control group was no more comparable with the experimental or treatment group |
