More about the book
This book gives a clear comprehensive explanation and defense of the Bayesian account of scientific reasoning. It will be read not only by philosophers and theorists of scientific method but also by working scientists, uneasy about the justification of the statistical methods now in use. Since the book is designed to explain to the uninitiated the controversial theories it discusses, it can serve as an introduction to the role of statistics and probability in science.
