Point Estimators

  • minimum-variance mean-unbiased estimator (MVUE), minimizes the risk (expected loss) of the squared-error loss-function.
    • best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE)
  • minimum mean squared error (MMSE)
  • median-unbiased estimator, minimizes the risk of the absolute-error loss function
  • maximum likelihood (ML)
  • method of moments, generalized method of moments

Famous quotes containing the word point:

    The success of a party means little more than that the Nation is using the party for a large and definite purpose.... It seeks to use and interpret a change in its own plans and point of view.
