Order of magnitude  (ORDER of magnitude)


Where insufficient data exist to establish the value of a given variable accurately, attempts may be made to estimate 1 this value. The process is called estimation 2 and the resulting value an estimate 3. Where data are practically non-existent a conjecture 4 may sometimes be made to establish the variable’s order of magnitude 5 . More...
