Abstract: Abstract As previously indicated the major problems of inference are estimation, testing, and interval estimation. 1. Of these estimation is the easiest to understand and in certain respects the most important. 2. Intuitively, a point estimate is simply a guess as to the value of a parameter of interest. 3. Along with this guess it is customary to provide some measure of reliability.
