Talk:range estimation

Statistics sense
I don't think this term is actually used in statistics. DCDuring TALK 19:00, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

Range vs distance
If I use GPS or some other triangulation system, I am arguably still only getting an estimate, but would you say I am getting a "range"? I think not. The point of range estimation is that is usually done without multi-site infrastructure support. It is done from a "point", loosely speaking. Thus, I think the ballistics sense and possibly the physics/astronomy sense are quite restricted in terms of how the estimates are done. If so, the term would fit meet one of our (admittedly hard to grasp) idiomaticity criteria. DCDuring TALK 18:59, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
