point-estimation method
1Point estimation — In statistics, point estimation involves the use of sample data to calculate a single value (known as a statistic) which is to serve as a best guess for an unknown (fixed or random) population parameter.More formally, it is the application of a… …
2point estimation — Statistics. the process of determining a single estimated value (point estimate) of a parameter of a given population. Cf. interval estimation. [1960 65] * * * ▪ statistics in statistics, the process of finding an approximate value of some… …
3Estimation theory — is a branch of statistics and signal processing that deals with estimating the values of parameters based on measured/empirical data. The parameters describe an underlying physical setting in such a way that the value of the parameters affects… …
4Method of moments — may refer to: Method of moments (statistics), a method of parameter estimation in statistics Method of moments (probability theory), a way of proving convergence in distribution in probability theory Second moment method, a technique used in… …
5Estimation in software engineering — The ability to accurately estimate the time and/or cost taken for a project to come in to its successful conclusion is a serious problem for software engineers. The use of a repeatable, clearly defined and well understood software development… …
6method — The mode or manner or orderly sequence of events of a process or procedure. SEE ALSO: fixative, operation, procedure, stain, technique. [G. methodos; fr. meta, after, + hodos, way] Abell Kendall m. a …
7Empirical Bayes method — In statistics, empirical Bayes methods are a class of methods which use empirical data to evaluate / approximate the conditional probability distributions that arise from Bayes theorem. These methods allow one to estimate quantities… …
8Maximum spacing estimation — The maximum spacing method tries to find a distribution function such that the spacings, D(i), are all approximately of the same length. This is done by maximizing their geometric mean. In statistics, maximum spacing estimation (MSE or MSP), or… …
9Motor unit number estimation — (MUNE) is a technique that uses electromyography to estimate the number of motor units in a muscle. Principles A motor unit consists of one alpha motoneuron and all the muscle fibres it innervates. Muscles differ in the number of motor units that …
10Joback method — The Joback method [Joback K.G., Reid R.C., Estimation of Pure Component Properties from Group Contributions , Chem.Eng.Commun., 57, 233 243, 1987] (often named Joback/Reid method) predicts eleven important and commonly used pure component… …
