kestim
Kestim is a term used to describe estimation procedures across disciplines. It is not a formal, standardized concept in major reference works, but a generic label for methods that produce numerical estimates of unknown quantities from observed data. Depending on the field, kestim may refer to statistical parameter estimation, signal tracking, or model-based inference.
The etymology of kestim is heterogeneous. In some contexts it is a phonetic rendering of "estimate" in
A kestim framework typically seeks to construct an estimate theta_hat of an unknown quantity theta from data
In practice, kestim concepts appear in fields such as statistics, economics, engineering, and computer science. They
