*- any functional of the data-generating process is a parameter

A byproduct of this framing is that it (not necessarily beneficially) precludes the existence of certain types of non-identifiability.

My relationship with "parameters" in statistical models has passed through approximately three phases:

1) parameters are convenient ways of thinking about models
2) parameters are a red herring; focus directly on the data-generating process
3) parameters are good, because anything* is a parameter.
