Point estimation: Products, Properties of point estimators & Overview

In statistics, point estimation involves the use of sample data to calculate a single value (known as a point estimate, since it identifies a point rather than an interval), which serves as a "best guess" or "best estimate" of an unknown quantity, for example, the population mean, the variance of a distribution, or a model parameter (in a parametric model).
