TAILIEUCHUNG - Symmetry and Its Discontents

This volume brings together a collection of essays on the history and philosophy of probability and statistics by one of the eminent scholars in these subjects. Written over the last fifteen years, they fall into three broad categories. The first deals with the use of symmetry arguments in inductive probability, in particular, their use in deriving rules of succession (Carnap’s “continuum of inductive methods”). | Cambridge Studies in Probability. Induction and Decision Theory SYMMETRY AND ITS DISCONTENTS Essays on the History of Inductive Probability s. L. ZABELL Cambridge more information - 9780521444705 This page intentionally left blank Symmetry and Its Discontents This volume brings together a collection of essays on the history and philosophy of probability and statistics by one of the eminent scholars in these subjects. Written over the last fifteen years they fall into three broad categories. The first deals with the use of symmetry arguments in inductive probability in particular their use in deriving rules of succession Carnap s continuum of inductive methods . The second group deals with four outstanding individuals who made lasting contributions to probability and statistics in very different ways Frank Ramsey R. A. Fisher Alan Turing and Abraham de Moivre. The last group of essays deals with the problem of predicting the unpredictable -making predictions when the range of possible outcomes is unknown in advance. The essays weave together the history and philosophy of these subjects and document the fascination that they have exercised for more than three centuries. S. L. Zabell is professor of mathematics and statistics at Northwestern University. A Fellow of the Institute of Mathematical Statistics and the American Statistical Association he serves on the editorial boards of Cambridge Studies in Probability Induction and Decision Theory and The Collected Works of Rudolph Carnap. He received the Distinguished Teaching Award from Northwestern University in .
