Abstract: This paper studies the main techniques of measuring non-sampling error and classifies them into two classes: based on designs and based on models. The paper emphatically studies the latter by the means of path analysis, including the measurement of non-sampling error in the investigation of single index and multi-indices，and discusses estimation and comparison of different models. The paper summarizes some instructive enlightenments for the study on non-sampling error in China, and then point out that we must prompt the research of non-sampling error considering China’s situation and referring to foreign scholars’ techniques in order to make it useful for China’ statistical investigation.

Key words: Non-Sampling, error, Measurement, Path, analysis
