  2. Estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimation

    The sample provides information that can be projected, through various formal or informal processes, to determine a range most likely to describe the missing information. An estimate that turns out to be incorrect will be an overestimate if the estimate exceeds the actual result [3] and an underestimate if the estimate falls short of the actual ...

  3. Instrumental variables estimation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instrumental_variables...

    Informally, in attempting to estimate the causal effect of some variable X ("covariate" or "explanatory variable") on another Y ("dependent variable"), an instrument is a third variable Z which affects Y only through its effect on X. For example, suppose a researcher wishes to estimate the causal effect of smoking (X) on general health (Y). [5]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimation_statistics

    Many significance tests have an estimation counterpart; [26] in almost every case, the test result (or its p-value) can be simply substituted with the effect size and a precision estimate. For example, instead of using Student's t-test, the analyst can compare two independent groups by calculating the mean difference and its 95% confidence ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sample_size_determination

    The table shown on the right can be used in a two-sample t-test to estimate the sample sizes of an experimental group and a control group that are of equal size, that is, the total number of individuals in the trial is twice that of the number given, and the desired significance level is 0.05. [4] The parameters used are:

  6. Estimator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimator

    In statistics, an estimator is a rule for calculating an estimate of a given quantity based on observed data: thus the rule (the estimator), the quantity of interest (the estimand) and its result (the estimate) are distinguished. [1] For example, the sample mean is a commonly used estimator of the population mean. There are point and interval ...

    , X n) be an estimator based on a random sample X 1,X 2, . . . , X n, the estimator T is called an unbiased estimator for the parameter θ if E[T] = θ, irrespective of the value of θ. [1] For example, from the same random sample we have E(x̄) = μ (mean) and E(s 2) = σ 2 (variance), then x̄ and s 2 would be unbiased estimators for μ and ...

    The Pew Research Center survey found 60 percent said they are “probably not” going to “get an updated vaccine.” Just less than 25 percent said they “probably” will get a booster, and ...

  9. Estimation theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estimation_theory

    Estimation theory is a branch of statistics that deals with estimating the values of parameters based on measured empirical data that has a random component. The parameters describe an underlying physical setting in such a way that their value affects the distribution of the measured data.
