Definition of point estimate in English: point estimatenoun Statistics A single value given as an estimate of a parameter of a population. Compare with interval estimate Example sentencesExamples - Two-tailed statistical significance was calculated as the frequency of obtaining a correlation coefficient whose absolute value was greater than or equal to the absolute value of the original point estimate.
- Although the use of discrete probabilities in a stochastic process certainly has an advantage over a single point estimate, the realistic a priori estimate of the probabilities can be a challenge.
- In a nutshell, maximum likelihood gives only a point estimate of the parameters, which ignores the more detailed information contained in the curvature and multimodality of the likelihood landscape.
- The authors conclude that the breathing reserve index provided the highest point estimate of mortality in patients with cystic fibrosis waiting for lung transplantation.
- An advantage of Bayesian methods is the ability to arrive at not only a point estimate of the unknown parameters, but also a distributional estimate.
