Primes

• Inspection Paradox
  • In astronomy, flux-limited surveys (Malmquist bias) over-represent intrinsically bright objects: for objects spread uniformly through Euclidean space, the volume in which an object clears the flux limit grows as the 3/2 power of its luminosity, so the inclusion weight is that power rather than luminosity itself, a power-law variant of the length weighting.
• Silence as Signal
  • Astronomy. Objects below a survey's detection threshold are absent from catalogs, and absence is sometimes read as a true population claim rather than a detection artefact — the case Malmquist bias formally corrects.

    This sourceFormalizes Malmquist bias, correcting the misreading of survey-threshold non-detections as true population absence.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
