Description
/li>
This second edition of the highly acclaimed text provides a
thorough account of the key basic concepts and theoretical results, with
particular emphasis on viewing statistical inference as a special case of
decision theory. Information-theoretic concepts play a central role in the
development, which provides, in particular, a detailed treatment of the
problem of specification of so-called “prior ignorance”. The work is
written from the authors’ committed Bayesian perspective, but an overview
of non-Bayesian theories is provided, and each chapter contains a
wide-ranging critical re-examination of controversial issues. The level of
mathematics used is such that material is accessible to readers with
knowledge of advanced calculus. In particular, no knowledge of abstract
measure theory is assumed, and the emphasis throughout is on statistical
concepts rather than rigorous mathematics.
