The error associated with the estimation of a population parameter from a sample statistic is called the standard error. It is a measure of the variability of the sampling distribution and represents how much the sample statistic is likely to differ from the true population parameter. Mean square error is used in regression analysis to evaluate the quality of the model, while standard deviation and variance are measures of variability within a sample or population.
