  Measurement is the process by which we represent some attribute of an object with a number or place it into a category.

• standard error

  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.

• standard deviation

  Standard deviation the square root of the variance; we generally prefer thinking about error in terms of standard deviation because it yields a number that makes sense using the original scale of measurement.
