a selection bias in flux-limited samples whereby intrinsically brighter objects are overrepresented at larger distances, distorting distance and luminosity estimates.

In astrophysics, Malmquist bias refers to a selection bias in flux-limited samples whereby intrinsically brighter objects are overrepresented at larger distances, distorting distance and luminosity estimates. This meaning comes from Teerikorpi (1997) in Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics.[1]
