Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Our motivation for writing this book was a dissatisfaction with the many books with titles hke Foundations of Statistics. These books provide a needed description of the subject with examples of various statistical methods; but they do not satisfy the discerning reader because they do not explain why certain conclusions may be drawn from certain data and they do not discuss how statistics, the subject, meshes with the scientific process. We naively set out to fill in these gaps, but the situation is not so simple. What is desired is a tool-the one true statistics-which can be applied to data with certainty to justify conclusions, but what is available, in fact, are various competing theories of statistics. The careful reader may correctly point out the relation of this manuscript to po- modem epistemology, a philosophy which emphasizes that all human knowing-in fields as diverse as religion and science-is culture dependent and that therefore 'truth' is not absolute. Take, for example, the 'truths' of Christianity and Islam- wars have been fought over their differences. In the field of statistics there are, for example, Bayesians and sampling theorists. Carson (2003) states, 'Surely it is better, postmodems tell us, to encourage insights that flow from many different perspectives. . . ' In statistics, postmodernism is manifest at two levels. First, the findings of statistical applications are not about the true state of nature but about models of experiments on nature.…

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - Print on Demand Titel. Neuware -This book has substantial implications for all users of Statistical methods. Its purpose is to discuss whether statistical methods make sense. That is a fair question, at the heart of the statistician-client relationship, but put so boldly it may arouse anger. The many books entitled something like Foundations of Statistics avoid controversy by merely describing the various methods without explaining why certain conclusions may be drawn from certain data. To avoid a duel, we prejudge the issue and ask the narrower question: 'In what sense do statistical methods provide scientific evidence ' The present volume begins the task of providing interpretations and explanations of several theories of statistical evidence. It should be relevant to anyone interested in the logic of experimental science. Have we achieved a true Foundation of Statistics We have made the link with one widely accepted view of science and we have explained the senses in which Bayesian statistics and p-values allow us to draw conclusions.Springer-Verlag KG, Sachsenplatz 4-6, 1201 Wien 168 pp. Englisch.…
