Maximum Likelihood Estimator
(MLE)
Uniformly Minimum Variance Unbiased Estimator (UMVUE)
UMVUE, sometimes called MVUE or UMVU.
See Wikipedia: Lehmann-Scheffe Theorem
An unbiased estimator of a complete-sufficient statistics is a UMVUE.
In general, you should find a complete sufficient statistic using the property of exponential families.
Then make it unbiased with some factors to get the UMVUE.
Tests
Basic Tests
T-test
Used to test the mean.
F-test
Use to test the ratio of variances.
Likelihood Ratio Test

Bootstrapping
Wikipedia
Boostrapping is used to sample from your sample to get a measure of accuracy of your statistics.
Nonparametric Bootstrapping
In nonparametric bootstrapping, you resample from your sample with replacement.
In this scenario, you don't need to know the family of distributions that your sample comes from.
Parametric Bootstrapping
In parametric bootstrapping, you learn the distribution parameters of your sample, e.g. with MLE.
Then you can generate samples from that distribution on a computer.
