Margin of error is also called critical distance; the distance between the boundaries of the "unlikely" area for a sampling distribution and the mean of that distribution expressed in the same unit as the variable (e.g., mm, lbs, dollars).

Standard error is the standard deviation of a sampling distribution.
SS Error
SS error is the amount of error left unexplained by the model; the area of all the squared residuals based on the distance of each score from the model prediction.
sampling error
Sampling error is the variation that occurs from sample to sample due to the fact that no sample is a perfect representation of the population; can be biased or unbiased; also known as sampling variation.
proportion reduction in error (PRE)
Proportion reduction in error (PRE) is the proportion of error that has been reduced by a more complex model compared with a simpler model, which in our course is always the empty model. When comparing to the empty model, PRE is calculated as SS ...
