Perhaps the strongest criticisms of inverse probability, although indirect, are implied by the fact that Laplace after 1811 and Gauss after 1816 based their theory of linear minimum variance estimation on direct probability. Nevertheless inverse probability continued to be used; only few of the critics went as far as to reject the theory completely.
