Point Estimators
- minimum-variance mean-unbiased estimator (MVUE), minimizes the risk (expected loss) of the squared-error loss-function.
- best linear unbiased estimator (BLUE)
- minimum mean squared error (MMSE)
- median-unbiased estimator, minimizes the risk of the absolute-error loss function
- maximum likelihood (ML)
- method of moments, generalized method of moments

Famous quotes containing the word point:
“Most childhood problems don’t result from “bad” parenting, but are the inevitable result of the growing that parents and children do together. The point isn’t to head off these problems or find ways around them, but rather to work through them together and in doing so to develop a relationship of mutual trust to rely on when the next problem comes along.”
—Fred Rogers (20th century)
