Estimation

A new framework of data analysis where the new statistical methods are used for interpreting the results and analyzing the data is known as estimation in statistics.

Question

Definition Definition Method in statistics by which an observation’s uncertainty can be quantified. The main use of interval estimating is for describing a range that is made by transforming a point estimate by determining the range of values, or interval within which the population parameter is likely to fall. This range helps in measuring its precision.
