Academic research has disputed substantial linkages between response rate and non-response bias. A meta-analysis of 30 methodological studies on non-response bias by Robert M. Groves found that the coefficient of determination for variance in non-response bias by response rate was only 0.11, making it a weak predictor of non-response bias ...
A U.S. National Agricultural Statistics Service statistician explains response rate data at a 2017 briefing to clarify the context of crop production data. In survey research, response rate, also known as completion rate or return rate, is the number of people who answered the survey divided by the number of people in the sample.
Response bias is a general term for a wide range of tendencies for participants to respond inaccurately or falsely to questions. These biases are prevalent in research involving participant self-report, such as structured interviews or surveys. [1] Response biases can have a large impact on the validity of questionnaires or surveys. [1] [2]
Non-response Failure to obtain measurements from sampled units that were intended to be measured - Unit non-response (e.g., refusal, not-at-home) - Item non-response (e.g., sensitive questions) - Inability to respond (e.g., language barrier, illness) Leads to unequal selection probabilities, as non-response rates may vary across subgroups
Data often are missing in research in economics, sociology, and political science because governments or private entities choose not to, or fail to, report critical statistics, [1] or because the information is not available. Sometimes missing values are caused by the researcher—for example, when data collection is done improperly or mistakes ...

Recall bias is a type of measurement bias, and can be a methodological issue in research involving interviews or questionnaires. In this case, it could lead to misclassification of various types of exposure . [ 2 ]
Selection bias is the bias introduced by the selection of individuals, groups, or data for analysis in such a way that proper randomization is not achieved, thereby failing to ensure that the sample obtained is representative of the population intended to be analyzed. [1]
