Selected area electron diffraction (SAED) is a transmission electron microscopy technique that records diffraction patterns from a small selected region to determine crystal structure and orientation.

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry

Selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry (SIFT-MS) is an analytical technique that detects and quantifies trace volatile compounds in air and humid breath in real time.

Selection (genetic algorithm)

Selection is the genetic algorithm operator that chooses which individuals become parents of the next generation, favoring fitter individuals through schemes such as roulette wheel, rank, and tournament selection.

Selection algorithm

A selection algorithm finds the k-th smallest, or i-th smallest, element of a collection of n unordered elements without sorting, studied through the minimum number of comparisons needed.

Selection bias

Selection bias, also known as selection effect, is a distortion in an estimated association arising when the choice of which observations enter a study relates to both exposure and outcome.
