Description and Table of Contents

Description

According to modern physics, many objectively improbable events actually occur, such as the spontaneous disintegration of radioactive atoms. Because of high levels of improbability, scientists are often at a loss to explain such phenomena. In this main essay of this book, Wesley Salmon offers a solution to scientific explanation based on the concept of statistical relevance (the S-R model). In this vein, the other two essays herein discuss \u201cStatistical Relevance vs. Statistical Inference,\u201d and \u201cExplanation and Information.\u201d
