The following information is about Unit of analysis.

Unit of analysis Defined

The basic observable entity being analyzed by a study and for which data are collected in the form of variables . Although a unit of analysis is sometimes referred to as the case or "observation," these are not always synonymous. For instance, in public opinion polls, the unit of analysis is usually a single person and the answers to the survey questions by one person constitute a "case." In a census, however, a "case" could be considered the household because all the data for one household is collected on one survey instrument; the household "case" may contain different variables for the different units of analysis: a physical housing structure, a family within the structure, a person within the family. Contrast with Unit of observation.

This definition is in context to Computing and Social Science. See more contextual defintions for Unit of analysis.
