SPRINGERBRIEFS IN STATISTICS BAYESIANS VERSUS...

This book analyzes the origins of statistical thinking as well as its related philosophical
questions  such as causality  determinism or chance. Bayesian and frequentist approaches are
subjected to a historical  cognitive and epistemological analysis  making it possible to not
only compare the two competing theories  but to also find a potential solution. The work
pursues a naturalistic approach  proceeding from the existence of numerosity in natural
environments to the existence of contemporary formulas and methodologies to heuristic
pragmatism  a concept introduced in the book's final section. This monograph will be of
interest to philosophers and historians of science and students in related fields. Despite the
mathematical nature of the topic  no statistical background is required  making the book a
valuable read for anyone interested in the history of statistics and human cognition.
