Description and Table of Contents
Description
This is a newly expanded edition of Edwards' classic volume on scientific inference, in which he argues that the appropriate axiomatic basis for inductive inference is not that of probability, with its addition axiom, but that of likelihood, the concept introduced by Fisher as a measure of relative support among different hypotheses.
