NON-SAMPLING ERROR
There are a range of other potential errors that are not caused by sampling and can occur in any statistical collection. Non-sampling error may be due to inadequacies in available sources from which the ABSBR was compiled, imperfections in reporting by providers, the modelling of QBIS data, as well as errors made in collection of the data such as in recording, coding and processing data. Although it is not possible to quantify non-sampling error, every effort is made to reduce it to a minimum. Survey collection forms are designed to be easy to complete, and efficient and effective operating procedures and systems are used to compile the statistics. The ABS compares data from different ABS and non-ABS sources to ensure consistency and coherence.
