Paradoxes in Scientific Inference

Autor Mark Chang
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 15 oct 2012
Paradoxes are poems of science and philosophy that collectively allow us to address broad multidisciplinary issues within a microcosm. A true paradox is a source of creativity and a concise expression that delivers a profound idea and provokes a wild and endless imagination. The study of paradoxes leads to ultimate clarity and, at the same time, indisputably challenges your mind.
Paradoxes in Scientific Inference analyzes paradoxes from many different perspectives: statistics, mathematics, philosophy, science, artificial intelligence, and more. The book elaborates on findings and reaches new and exciting conclusions. It challenges your knowledge, intuition, and conventional wisdom, compelling you to adjust your way of thinking. Ultimately, you will learn effective scientific inference through studying the paradoxes.

Recenzii

"… an excellent book discussing the principles of scientific inference for readers with various backgrounds. Paradoxes are seen sporadically in different occasions; a systematic review in this book may reshape the reader’s brain, as the author warns, and, at the very least, provides a fresh view of scientific philosophy."
—Gang Li, Journal of Biopharmaceutical Statistics, 24, 2014
"This is a very, very entertaining book. It is extremely well written, extremely clear, and very highly recommended."
—Norman R. Draper, International Statistical Review (2013), 81
"… the brisk pace makes the pages turn easily and the book is fun …"

Descriere

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.
