  2. What is the difference between an estimator and a statistic?

    An "estimator" or "point estimate" is a statistic (that is, a function of the data) that is used to infer the value of an unknown parameter in a statistical model. So a statistic refers to the data itself and a …

  3. Estimator for a binomial distribution - Cross Validated

    Oct 7, 2011 · How do we define an estimator for data coming from a binomial distribution? For bernoulli I can think of an estimator estimating a parameter p, but for binomial I can't see what parameters to …

  4. r - Lavaan Estimator - Cross Validated

    Jul 16, 2024 · Should I use MLR or MLM estimator? I ask this because I am getting much better results with MLM, although I think MLR is more used. I have tried testing the configural model with several …

  5. What is the difference between a consistent estimator and an unbiased ...

    An estimator is unbiased if, on average, it hits the true parameter value. That is, the mean of the sampling distribution of the estimator is equal to the true parameter value.

  6. machine learning - Classifier vs model vs estimator - Cross Validated

    From what I can tell: an estimator is a predictor found from regression algorithm a classifier is a predictor found from a classification algorithm a model can be both an estimator or a classifier But from …
