In an abstract ideal situation, many estimation problems in science and engineering can be cast as estimating some decision variables δ given the known values of a set of other ones m (possibly, measurements) and a model expressed as a set of equality and inequality constraints (involving decision variables, measurements and some model parameters).
The FiveThirtyEight "now-cast," which estimates the current state of the national race through a detailed evaluation of both state and national surveys, had put Mr. Obama ahead by just 1 point instead.
