A generalized conclusion drawn about a population from a sample is technically statistical inference.

It uses sample evidence to make probabilistic statements about the whole population.

Data analysis and interpretation is the broader processing of results, not the act of generalising.

Parameter estimation is one tool within inference, narrower than the whole generalising conclusion.

Mere description summarises the data at hand without extending beyond the sample.

Statistical inference rests on estimation and hypothesis testing together.
