A <statistical parameter> indexes a family of <probability distributions> in a <statistical model>. It is fixed in a frequentist sampling model; a <prior distribution> makes it random for <Bayesian statistics>. Different <statistical parameter> values should produce different observable distributions when <identifiability> is claimed.
