Discussion: Foundations of Statistical Inference, Revisited
This is an invited contribution to the discussion on Professor Deborah Mayo’s paper, “On the Birnbaum argument for the strong likelihood principle,” to appear in Statistical Science. Mayo clearly demonstrates that statistical methods violating the likelihood principle need not violate either the sufficiency or conditionality principle, thus refuting Birnbaum’s claim. With the constraints of Bir...
متن کاملDiscussion: The Foundations of Statistical Mechanics—Questions and Answers*
Huw Price (1996, 2002, 2003) argues that causal-dynamical theories that aim to explain thermodynamic asymmetry in time are misguided. He points out that in seeking a dynamical factor responsible for the general tendency of entropy to increase, these approaches fail to appreciate the true nature of the problem in the foundations of statistical mechanics (SM). I argue that it is Price who is guil...
متن کاملProcrustean statistical inference of deformations
A two step method has been devised for the statistical inference of deformation changes. In the first step of this method and based on Procrustes analysis of deformation tensors, the significance of the change in a time or space series of deformation tensors is statistically analyzed. In the second step significant change(s) in deformations are localized. In other words, they are assigned to ce...
متن کاملFoundations of Causal Inference
Causal inference is usually concerned with exploring causal relations among random variables X1, . . . , Xn after observing sufficiently many samples drawn from the joint probability distribution. The formal basis is the Causal Markov Condition stating that every variable is conditionally statistically independent of its nondescendants, given its parents with respect to the directed acyclic gra...
متن کاملFoundations of Inference
We present a simple and clear foundation for finite inference that unites and significantly extends the approaches of Kolmogorov and Cox. Our approach is based on quantifying lattices of logical statements in a way that satisfies general lattice symmetries. With other applications such as measure theory in mind, our derivations assume minimal symmetries, relying on neither negation nor continui...
