Population specification errors occur when the researcher does not understand who they should survey. This can be tricky because there are multiple people who might consume the product, but only one who purchases it, or they may miss a segment looking to purchase in the future.

Measurement error is generated by the measurement process itself, and represents the difference between the information generated and the information wanted by the researcher. Generally, there is always some small level of measurement error due to uncontrollable factors.
