Editing Clustering illusion (section)

==Similar biases==
Using this [[cognitive bias]] in causal reasoning may result in the [[Texas sharpshooter fallacy]], in which differences in data are ignored and similarities are overemphasized. More general forms of erroneous pattern recognition are ''[[pareidolia]]'' and ''[[apophenia]]''. Related biases are the ''[[illusion of control]]'' which the clustering illusion could contribute to, and ''[[insensitivity to sample size]]'' in which people don't expect greater variation in smaller samples. A different cognitive bias involving misunderstanding of chance streams is the [[gambler's fallacy]].
