Observation

Definition

An observation is a method of data collection in which the situation of interest is watched and the relevant facts, actions, or behaviors recorded. [1]

An observation error is a nonsampling mistake that arises because inaccurate information is secured from the sample elements or because errors are introduced in the processing of the data or in reporting the findings. [1]
