Sample Coverage Error Sample coverage error is another type of common sampling error. It occurs when the sample does not cover the entire population. If your survey is conducted entirely online and does not include people who do not have internet access, you have a sample coverage error. Sample...
Due to problems in design or conduct – Measurement Bias (systematic over or under- reporting) – Selection Bias (part of target population not in sampled population) – Questionnaire Design – Interview Bias – Processing Error – Non-response – Under coverage 8 What makes a "good" sample?
Mistakes to Avoid When Systematically Sampling One common pitfall to watch out for when using systematic sampling is selecting an inappropriate sampling interval. Choosing a sampling interval that is too small may lead to oversampling and increased sampling error, while selecting an interval that is t...

Undercoverage Bias This form of sampling bias underrepresents hard-to-find subgroups. The fact that they are difficult to contact means they are less likely to be included in the sample. For example, homeless people are unlikely to appear on various lists and won’t have an address or phone...
For our classification analysis, by default we use simulated PacBio HiFi-like reads that are 10 Kb long with 1% error rates, with errors uniformly introduced. We simulate 10 × coverage of each genome, yielding 4.8 M reads for the CGR dataset, and 165 K reads for the ZYMO + MB...

During a sequencing experiment, the distribution of coverage depth might not correspond well to the requirements of the experiment—for example, when determining variant sites (Fig.1). Commonly, at present, the overall coverage would have to be increased to ensure sufficient sampling throughout, cau...
whether biogeographic patterns from those substrates broadly reflect patterns in fungal taxa9or biodiversity in general11is unclear. Additionally, there are significant biases in the geographic areas represented in global studies12,13, although there have been recent efforts to expand the coverage of und...
