DATA COLLECTION: THE BASIC METHODS

(1) Retrospective study using historical data

(2) Observational study


A researcher observes and measures characteristics of
interest of part of a population.

(3) Experiment
A treatment is applied to part of a population and
responses are observed.

Errors

Sampling error
the difference between a sample result and the
true population result; such an error results
from chance sample fluctuations.

Non-sampling error
sample data incorrectly collected, recorded, or
analyzed (such as by selecting a biased sample,
using a defective instrument, or copying the data
incorrectly).
