Some other types of outcome are point estimates and decisions.
Decisions are then made on computed point estimates.
Unlike the accounting-style business case or cost benefit analysis, it does not rely entirely on point estimates of uncertain values.
The most recent point estimate is 7 million individuals, but this, too, is considered a likely underestimate.
Performance should improve with experience, and the control limits for point estimates should gradually narrow.
Excluding the missing responses from the relevant analyses only modestly changed the point estimates.
P is the distribution in uncertainty in the point estimate of the risk coefficient, r.
Nevertheless, the point estimate of a difference in treatment effect will likely change systematically during follow-up.
It exists in the future and therefore represents a range or distribution of outcomes rather than a single point estimate.
This doesn't mean that the effects aren't real, but it does raise doubts about specific point estimates, including the $320,000 figure.
