Noise level estimation

The estimation of noise variance from measurements (and analogously for ) is called noise-level estimation. A variety of estimators can be used for this purpose. Equivalently, one may estimate the reliability or the signal-to-noise ratio.

Applicability

A correction for regression dilution is necessary in statistical inference
