# BaseEstimator
<Class id="qiskit.primitives.BaseEstimator" isDedicatedPage={true} github="https://github.com/qiskit/qiskit/tree/stable/0.24/qiskit/primitives/base/base_estimator.py" signature="BaseEstimator(*, options=None)" modifiers="class">
Bases: `BasePrimitive`, `Generic`\[`T`]
Estimator base class.
Base class for Estimator that estimates expectation values of quantum circuits and observables.
Creating an instance of an Estimator, or using one in a `with` context opens a session that holds resources until the instance is `close()` ed or the context is exited.
**Parameters**
**options** Default options.
## Methods
<span id="qiskit-primitives-baseestimator-run" />
### run
<Function id="qiskit.primitives.BaseEstimator.run" signature="BaseEstimator.run(circuits, observables, parameter_values=None, **run_options)">
Run the job of the estimation of expectation value(s).
`circuits`, `observables`, and `parameter_values` should have the same length. The i-th element of the result is the expectation of observable
```python
obs = observables[i]
```
for the state prepared by
```python
circ = circuits[i]
```
with bound parameters
```python
values = parameter_values[i].
```
**Parameters**
* **circuits** (*Sequence\[*[*QuantumCircuit*](qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit "qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit")*] |* [*QuantumCircuit*](qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit "qiskit.circuit.QuantumCircuit")) one or more circuit objects.
* **observables** (*Sequence\[BaseOperator |* [*PauliSumOp*](qiskit.opflow.primitive_ops.PauliSumOp "qiskit.opflow.primitive_ops.PauliSumOp") *| str] | BaseOperator |*[*PauliSumOp*](qiskit.opflow.primitive_ops.PauliSumOp "qiskit.opflow.primitive_ops.PauliSumOp") *| str*) one or more observable objects. Several formats are allowed; importantly, `str` should follow the string representation format for [`Pauli`](qiskit.quantum_info.Pauli "qiskit.quantum_info.Pauli") objects.
* **parameter\_values** (*Sequence\[Sequence\[float]] | Sequence\[float] | float | None*) concrete parameters to be bound.
* **run\_options** runtime options used for circuit execution.
**Returns**
The job object of EstimatorResult.
**Raises**
* **TypeError** Invalid argument type given.
* **ValueError** Invalid argument values given.
**Return type**
T
