Estimation theory is a branch of statistics that deals with estimating the values of parameters based on measured empirical data that has a random component. The parameters describe an underlying physical setting in such a way that their value affects the distribution of the measured data.

What are the uses of estimation theory?
Applications : Image processing, communications, biomedicine, system identification, state estimation in control, etc. Range estimation : We transmit a pulse that is reflected by the aircraft. An echo is received after τ second. Range θ is estimated from the equation θ = τc/2 where c is the light's speed.
Who is famous for theory of estimation?
Calyampudi Radhakrishna Rao, FRS known as C R Rao (born 10 September 1920) is an Indian-American mathematician and statistician. He is currently professor emeritus at Pennsylvania State University and Research Professor at the University at Buffalo.
Who invented the estimation theory?
The theory of estimation was founded by Prof. R.A. Fisher in a series of fundamental papers round about 1930 and is divided into two groups.
What are the two types of estimation?
There are two types of estimates: point and interval. A point estimate is a value of a sample statistic that is used as a single estimate of a population parameter.
