Rethinking the Foundations of Statistics by Joseph B. Kadane (English) Paperback

Description: Rethinking the Foundations of Statistics by Joseph B. Kadane, Mark J. Schervish, Teddy Seidenfeld This important collection of essays is a synthesis of foundational studies in Bayesian decision theory and statistics. The collection explores how the norms for Bayesian decision making should apply in settings with more than one rational decision maker and then tracing out some of the consequences of this turn for Bayesian statistics. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This important collection of essays is a synthesis of foundational studies in Bayesian decision theory and statistics. An overarching topic of the collection is understanding how the norms for Bayesian decision making should apply in settings with more than one rational decision maker and then tracing out some of the consequences of this turn for Bayesian statistics. The volume will be particularly valuable to philosophers concerned with decision theory, probability, and statistics, statisticians, mathematicians, and economists. Author Biography JOSEPH B. KADANE is Leonard J. Savage Professor of Statistics and Social Sciences at Carnegie Mellon University. He has published over one hundred papers on statistical theory and applications, edited the book Robustness of Bayesian Analysis, and coedited Statistics and the Law.
