INTRODUCTION
Error generally refers to a mistake or fault. However,
in the field of data science, the term "error" refers to
the discrepancy between the estimated value of the
sample statistic and the actual value of the
population parameter.
TYPES OF ERRORS
Generally speaking, errors fall into two categories:
1. Sampling errors
2 Non sampling errors
Sampling Errors
Sampling or statistical errors happen when conclusions about
the population based on sampling units are incorrect or differ.
When a sample is not representative of the entire population,
sampling error occurs. When selecting the sampling units, the
sample results might not precisely match the population
parameter's actual value. The sample survey only looks at a
small portion of the universe, so some error is unavoidable.
This is called sampling errors.

Types of Sampling Errors
There are 2 types of sampling errors :
Processing Errors: Errors that happen during the handling of data, such as
during data entry, coding, or analysis. These errors can result in the
misrepresentation of data in the final analysis.
Sampling Frame Errors: Occur when the sampling frame (the list from which the
sample is drawn) does not accurately represent the entire population. This can
result in certain groups being underrepresented or overrepresented in the
sample.
