Estimation in software engineering The ability to accurately estimate the time/cost taken for a project to come to its successful conclusion has been a serious problem for software engineers. The use of repeatable, clearly defined and well understood software development process has in recent years shown itself to be the most effective method of gaining useful historical data that can be used for statistical estimation.
Estimation of covariance matrices In multivariate statistics, the importance of the Wishart distribution stems in part from the fact that it is the probability distribution of the maximum likelihood estimator of the covariance matrix of a multivariate normal distribution. Although no one is surprised that the estimator of the population covariance matrix is simply the sample covariance matrix, the mathematical derivation is perhaps not widely known and is surprisingly subtle and elegant.
Estimation of Distribution Algorithms In evolutionary computation the population may be approximated with a probability distribution over the space of possible solutions. This may have several advantages, including avoiding premature convergence and being a more compact representation.
Estimation theory Estimation 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 the physical scenario or object that answers a question posed by the estimator.
Estimator In statistics, an estimator is a function of the observable sample data that is used to estimate an unknown population parameter; an estimate is the result from the actual application of the function to a particular set of data. Many different estimators are possible for any given parameter.
