Data appraisal
Estimates from a sample survey are affected by two types of errors: 1) non-sampling errors and 2) sampling errors. Non-sampling errors are the results of mistakes made in the implementation of data collection and data processing. Numerous efforts were made during implementation of the EES 2017 to minimize this type of error, however, non-sampling errors are impossible to avoid and difficult to evaluate statistically.
