Description
A New Approach to Sound Statistical ReasoningInferential Models: Reasoning with Uncertainty introduces the authors' recently developed approach to inference: the inferential model (IM) framework. This logical framework for exact probabilistic inference does not require the user to input prior information. The authors show how an IM produces meaning
Reviews / Votes
"The book . . . delivers on its promise. It should be read by all statisticians with an interest in the foundations and development of the statistical methods for inference."~Michael J. Lew, University of Melbourne
" . . . the book covers the motivations for the IM framework, the basic theory behind its calibration properties, a number of its applications and gives a new way of thinking compared to existing schools of thought on statistical inference"
