Data Appraisal
Estimates of Sampling Error
Statistical Errors:
Statistical Errors: The findings of the survey are affected by statistical errors due to using sampling in conducting the survey for the units of the target population, which increases the chances of having variances from the actual values we expect to obtain from the data had we conducted the survey using comprehensive enumeration.. The variance of the key goods in the survey was computed and dissemination was carried out on the level of the Palestinian Territory for reasons related to sample design and computation of the variance of the different indicators.
Non-Statistical Errors
These types of errors could appear on one or all the survey stages that include data collection and data entry.
Response errors: these types of errors are related to, responders, fieldworkers, and data entry personnel's. And to avoid mistakes and reduce the impact has been a series of actions that would enhance the accuracy of the data through a process of data collection from the field and the data processing.
