| Definition: |
|
In the strict sense, an estimate is the particular value yielded by an estimator in a given set of circumstances.
|
| Context: |
|
The expression is widely used to denote the rule by which such particular values are calculated. It seems preferable to use the word estimator for the rule of procedure, and estimate for the values to which it leads in particular cases.
