Estimator Variables

Estimator Variable is an academic construct in the field of eyewitness testimony research that refers to factors affecting the accuracy of eyewitness identifications which are not under the control of the justice system, such as lighting conditions, distance, or witness stress, and which must be estimated rather than systematically manipulated or controlled.
