| standard error |
The standard deviation of the sampling distribution of the mean. A statistical estimate of the population standard deviation based on the mean and standard deviation of one sample. Calculated by dividing the standard deviation of the sample by the square root of the number of subjects in the sample.

| standard error of the mean |
A measure of variability. The standard error of the mean quantifies how accurately the true population mean is known. A measure of the variability of the mean of the sample as an estimate of the true value of the population mean. The larger the sample size the smaller the standard error of the mean. Used in computing confidence intervals. In a clinical trial, the larger the sample size the tighter the 95% CI is around the point estimate of the study.

| standard error |
Commonly used measure of how precisely one can estimate a population value from a given sample. For large sample surveys, a reasonable interpretation of the standard error is that approximately 68 percent of the time the sample estimate will be within one standard error of the population value. ...

| standard error |
an estimated quantity which, when added to and subtracted from a logit measure or calibration, gives the least distance required before a difference becomes statistically meaningful.
