 ### Evaluating a new estimator
 
 The above code snippet may be convenient for estimating mutual information on a given data set or for the development of a new mutual information estimator.
-However, for extensive benchmarking it may be more convenient to use one benchmark suites available in the `workflows/benchmark/` subdirectory.

+## Adding a new Python estimator
+
+Every added estimator has to implement the [`IMutualInformationPointEstimator`](https://github.com/cbg-ethz/bmi/blob/main/src/bmi/interface.py) interface.
+
+Let's take a look at the simplest possible estimator (which generally shouldn't be used in practice), which estimates mutual information as $\hat I(X; Y) = -0.5 \log\left( 1-\mathrm{Corr}(X_1, Y_1)^2 \right)$.
+
+```{python}
+import numpy as np
+
+from bmi.interface import BaseModel, IMutualInformationPointEstimator
+
+class EmptyParams(BaseModel):
+    """This estimator has no hyperparameters."""
+    pass
+
+class TooSimpleEstimator(IMutualInformationPointEstimator):
+    def __init__(self) -> None:
+        """All estimator hyperparameters should be set at this stage.
+        This estimator does not have any hyperparameters, though.
+        """
+        pass
+
+    def estimate(self, x, y) -> float:
+        """Estimates mutual information.
+
+        Attrs:
+            x: samples from the X variable, shape (n_points, dim_x)
+            y: samples from the Y variable, shape (n_points, dim_y)
+        """
+        x, y = np.asarray(x), np.asarray(y)
+        x1 = x[:, 0]
+        y1 = y[:, 0]
+
+        rho = np.corrcoef(x1, y1)[0, 1]
+        return -0.5 * np.log(1 - rho**2)
+
+    def parameters(self) -> BaseModel:
+        """Returns the hyperparameters of the estimator."""
+        return EmptyParams()
+```
+
+If your estimator is a function, you can also wrap it into a class using [`FunctionalEstimator`](https://github.com/cbg-ethz/bmi/blob/main/src/bmi/estimators/function_wrapper.py) wrapper.
+
+Once such a class is available, it can be simply included into the configuration dictionary.
