TY - JOUR AU - Phillips, Carl V. AU - LaPole, Luwanna M. PY - 2003 DA - 2003/06/12 TI - Quantifying errors without random sampling JO - BMC Medical Research Methodology SP - 9 VL - 3 IS - 1 AB - All quantifications of mortality, morbidity, and other health measures involve numerous sources of error. The routine quantification of random sampling error makes it easy to forget that other sources of error can and should be quantified. When a quantification does not involve sampling, error is almost never quantified and results are often reported in ways that dramatically overstate their precision.
