Selected
sources of bias
From my biostatistician brain without the help of Google :-)
If your context refers specifically to measurement, then "sources of measurement bias".
Bourth was definitely on the right track with confounding factor, but these are a special type of bias, not measurement bias.

I'd use "factors" and will leave you to Google THAT!

It\'s stronger than I am! It may not fit your context,but I Googled up this:
Confounding factor
Similar term(s): confounder, confounding variable
Definition:
A confounding factor in a study is a variable which is related to one or more of the variables defined in a study. A confounding factor may mask an actual association or falsely demonstrate an apparent association between the study variables where no real association between them exists. If confounding factors are not measured and considered, bias may result in the conclusion of the study.
[http://www.greenfacts.org/glossary/abc/confounding-factor.ht...]
confounding variable or confounding factor -
A \"hidden\" variable that may cause an association which the researcher attributes to other variables
[http://ific.org/glossary/index.cfm]
Confounding Factor: (from the Latin confundere: to mix together) A distortion of an association between an intervention (I) and response (R) brought about by an extraneous cofactor (C). This problem occurs when the intervention is associated with C and C is an independent factor for the response. For example, ____ (C) confounds the relationship between ______ (R) and __couponing__ (I), since R and C are related, and C is an independent risk factor for R.
When the differences between the treatment and control groups other than the treatment produce differences in response that are not distinguishable from the effect of the treatment, those differences between the groups are said to be confounded with the effect of the treatment (if any). For example, prominent statisticians questioned whether differences between individuals that led some to smoke and others not to (rather than the act of smoking itself) were responsible for the observed difference in the frequencies with which smokers and non-smokers contract various illnesses. If that were the case, those factors would be confounded with the effect of smoking. Confounding is quite likely to affect observational studies and experiments that are not randomized. Confounding tends to be decreased by randomization. See also Simpson\'s Paradox.
