After Lowe died in 1940, the business was inherited by his daughter, Ruth Buchan, who sold the company to her brother, James Lowe for $4,200, [9] that same year.

3. James–Stein estimator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James–Stein_estimator

   James–Stein estimator. The James–Stein estimator is a biased estimator of the mean, , of (possibly) correlated Gaussian distributed random variables with unknown means . It arose sequentially in two main published papers. The earlier version of the estimator was developed in 1956, [1] when Charles Stein reached a relatively shocking ...

4. Building estimator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_estimator

   A building estimator or cost estimator is an individual that quantifies the materials, labor, and equipment needed to complete a construction project. Building cost estimating can concern diverse forms of construction from residential properties to hi-rise and civil works. Both estimators and quantity surveyors must have a background education ...

5. Construction estimating software - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Construction_estimating...

   Construction estimating software. Construction cost estimating software is computer software designed for contractors to estimate construction costs for a specific project. A cost estimator will typically use estimating software to estimate their bid price for a project, which will ultimately become part of a resulting construction contract.

6. Hodges' estimator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hodges'_estimator

   In statistics, Hodges' estimator [1] (or the Hodges–Le Cam estimator [2] ), named for Joseph Hodges, is a famous counterexample of an estimator which is "superefficient", [3] i.e. it attains smaller asymptotic variance than regular efficient estimators. The existence of such a counterexample is the reason for the introduction of the notion of ...

7. Cost estimation models - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_estimation_models

   Cost estimation models. Cost estimation models are mathematical algorithms or parametric equations used to estimate the costs of a product or project. The results of the models are typically necessary to obtain approval to proceed, and are factored into business plans, budgets, and other financial planning and tracking mechanisms.
