Philosophy of Probability and Statistical Modelling

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This Element offers an historically informed review of the philosophy of probability and an analytical focus on objective probability. A distinction is drawn between traditional attempts to interpret chance, and a novel methodological study of its application, introducing a radical form of pluralism and exploring this in statistical modelling.
