Non-sampling error

In statistics, non-sampling error is a catch-all term for the deviations from the true value that are not a function of the sample chosen, including various systematic errors and any random errors that are not due to sampling.^[1] Non-sampling errors are much harder to quantify than sampling errors ^[2].
