The term bias has many uses:

• In its most widely used form, bias is prejudice of some sort in terms of point of view, usually manifesting itself in written works as in editorial bias. Please see important note below.
• Bias is a book by journalist Bernard Goldberg.
• In statistics, bias is the systematic distortion of a statistic as a result of sampling procedures.
• In electronics and the related field of electrical engineering, voltage bias (sometimes simply called bias) is a steady state voltage inserted in series with an element of an electronic device like a transistor, coil or other source of load by varying the current. Likewise, current bias is a steady state current that is forced through an electronic device by varying the voltage. In both cases, the quantity biased is that which is held constant.
• In other areas of science or engineering it may refer to some form of offset.
• the bias of a woven fabric is the 45-degree diagonal line, along which it is most stretchable, and along which a textile is often cut
• in sport, bias is the irregular weight or shape of a ball, which may cause it to curve or swerve in an unexpected manner. That result may also in itself be called bias. For a deliberate example, see the game of bowls.
• Bias of Priene was one of the Seven Sages of Greece
• Several communes in France are named Bias, as in:
  • Bias in the Landes département
  • Bias in the Lot-et-Garonne département
