Observational error (or measurement error) is the difference between a measured value of a quantity and its unknown true value. Such errors are inherent...

uncertainty (or propagation of error) is the effect of variables' uncertainties (or errors, more specifically random errors) on the uncertainty of a function...

The margin of error is a statistic expressing the amount of random sampling error in the results of a survey. The larger the margin of error, the less confidence...

In statistics and optimization, errors and residuals are two closely related and easily confused measures of the deviation of an observed value of an element...
