Sampling errors are the errors that are arises due to fact that samples are taken to infer the population. The types of sampling errors are population specification error, sample frame error, selection error, non-response, etc.

Non-sampling errors arise from all other factors other than the procedures of inferring the population from a sample. The sources of non-sampling errors are lack of proper specification, incomplete coverage, faulty definitions, incorrect methods of data collection, tabulation errors, etc.
