Quick description

Estimates occur all over mathematics. This article contains links to articles and navigation pages about estimating different kinds of quantities.

Different quantities one might estimate

Estimating sums

Estimating integrals

Estimating limits

Estimating cardinalities

Estimating probabilities

Useful techniques to know about

Insert constraints into estimates and error terms

Use basic examples to calibrate exponents

Note iconIncomplete This article is incomplete. These are just a few ideas for articles, but they may not be the best choice. More ideas would be welcome – as would the articles themselves ...

Comments

suggestion

Perhaps, there can be entries here on estimating probabilities and expectations.

Some estimation methods for probabilities and expectations:

  • asymptotic methods,
  • martingale methods,
  • simulation methods.
