Measures of sampling variability are provided with the data and should be closely examined before the data are used. The measure of sampling variability displayed depends on the item selected. If an item can have a value that is zero, positive, or negative, the measure presented is the Standard Error. If an item can have a value that is only zero or positive, the measure presented is the Relative Standard Error (RSE, also called a coefficient of variation). Click on the Definitions link for more information on measures of sampling variability and their uses.
