Estimation
- REDIRECT
Estimation (or
estimating) is the process of finding an
estimate, or
approximation, which is a value that is usable for some purpose even if input data may be incomplete,
uncertain, or
unstable. The value is nonetheless usable because it is derived from the best information available. Typically, estimation involves "using the value of a
statistic derived from a
sample to estimate the value of a corresponding population parameter". 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 exceeded the actual result, and an
underestimate if the estimate fell short of the actual result.
