sample size is the specific size of a thing like the how long or wide. while sample unit is the whole thing not referring to specific number size.
standard error
sample is a noun and sampling is TO sample(verb)
It is the ratio between the size of the sample and the size of the population.
Similarity: Both are counts of people/animals/things. Difference: Population is the total # of things, while sample is the # of things that you gather data on. If you pick the right sample size, you can be pretty confident that the results of the sample data is the same as the results of the entire population.

What is the difference between the population and sample regression functions? Is this a distinction without difference?

random sample is a big sample and convenience sample is small sample
It is the ratio between the size of the sample and the size of the population.
From a sample of a population, the properties of the population can be inferred.

I will assume the sample is random. In general, the larger the sample, the smaller the percentage error will be (the difference between percentages in the sample, and the percentages in the universe from whence the sample is taken). The percentage error tends to go down as the square root of the size of the sample.
There is no such term. The regression (or correlation) coefficient changes as the sample size increases - towards its "true" value. There is no measure of association that is independent of sample size.
With a probabilistic method, each member of the population has the same probability of being selected for the sample. Equivalently, given a sample size, every sample of that size has the same probability of being the sample which is selected. With such a sample it is easier to find an unbiased estimate of common statistical measures. None of this is true for non-probabilistic sampling.
