Paradoxes in Scientific Inference

By Mark Chang

Book Overview

The paradoxology of scientific inference refers to the study of the nature of scientific inference and evidence through controversies or, more precisely, paradoxes. This book analyzes paradoxes from many different perspectives, such as statistics, mathematics, philosophy, science, and artificial intelligence. It compares various quantitative methods of evidence measures, including frequentist hypothesis testing, likelihood, and Bayesian methods. The text elaborates on recent findings to reach new and exciting conclusions. Other topics covered include probability, plausible reasoning, multiplicity, and inferences.
