Logicist statistics II: Inference

Abstract

A perspective on statistical inference is proposed that is broad enough to encompass modern Bayesian and traditional Fisherian thinking, and interprets frequentist theory in a way that gives appropriate weights to both science and mathematics, and to both objective and subjective elements. The aim is to inject new thinking into a field held back by a longstanding lack of consensus. © 2008 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
