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."

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.
