Whats the estimate on number of these tribes?

I wouldn't trust any count. By definition, we don't know them very well, and you need a certain level of cultural insight to pick apart ethnic groups that are all rainforest hunter-gatherers.

Surly we can do some statistical application to give us a rough number would be awsome if it had error as well

If you just wanted total population, sure. Measure density and multiply by the area of the region. Ethnic groups are hard to pick apart even if they're in contact but still remote, though. It's a matter of anthropology, not demographics.
