A point estimate of distribution parameters describing a population is frequentist. A point estimate of distribution parameters describing another distribution's parameter is Bayesian.
- flusteredBias 4y agoHow the parameters are estimated it not the message. In statistics there are latin letters and greek letters. When you see a symbol denoted as a greek letter then that is a population parameter. When you see a latin letter that is a sample estimate. It could be Frequentist, Bayesian, Likelihoodist, Fiducial, Empirical Bayes, etc. Theoretical population greeks or sample calculated latins.
