How do we measure biases?


Simple Metrics:
Example: Distributions of sizes of mouse sequences in the GenBank Database follow an Extreme Value distribution characterized by

We are evaluating several statistical tests for measuring differences in the distributions of data between any two datasets.

Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test: Measures point of maximum difference between two distributions

Cramér - von Mises Test: Difference between two distributions is related to differences in areas.
