A bias is a compensation value, a difference to an original value, which is added or subtracted.

Example:

The sine function returns values in the range of 1.0 to -1.0

If you don't want negative values but need to preserve the range between the highest and lowest value, here 2.0, you would add a bias of 1.0 to the result of the sine function.
