Parameter estimate

A parameter estimate is either a point or interval estimate of the unknown population correlation coefficient.

A point estimate is a single value that is the best estimate of the true unknown population correlation coefficient; a confidence interval is a range of values and indicates the uncertainty of the estimate.
