Standard error is a statistical term that measures the accuracy with which a sample distribution represents a population distribution. It quantifies the amount of variability in the sample means, indicating how much the sample mean is expected to fluctuate from the true population mean. A smaller standard error suggests that the sample mean is a more accurate estimate of the population mean, which is crucial when communicating uncertainty in forecasts.
