<p>When choosing tags for the question: " <a href="https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/26580/is-there-a-difference-between-the-maximum-probability-and-the-mode-of-a-para">Is there a difference between the &quot;maximum probability&quot; and the &quot;mode&quot; of a parameter?</a> " I was surprised to find no "parameter" tag. </p>

<p>I hesitate to add an unwanted (or unuseful) tag.
 Is there a reason for the absence of a "parameter" tag, e.g. it is ambiguous? Would it make a valid synonym?</p>
