a statistician's search for truth Pawitan, Yudi creator author.

Interpretation is shaped by context as well as the knowledge, biases, assumptions or preconceptions of the interpreter, leading to a variety of potential interpretations of concepts as well as results. This book thoroughly examines the distinct philosophical approaches to statistics--Bayesian, frequentist, and likelihood--arising from different interpretations of probability and uncertainty. These differences are highlighted through a variety of puzzles and paradoxes"-- Yudi Pawitan and Youngjo Lee. Includes bibliographical references and index.
