Appendices: a problem in the doctrine of chances; the history of likelihood; fiducial distributions; the likelihood treatment of linear regression; R.A. Fisher's work on statistical inference ; Economics; Economics N2 - Assuming only a basic knowledge of probability theory, the author sets out to reconstruct a consistent theory of statistical inference in science. Using a likelihood approach, he explores estimation, tests of significance, randomization, experimental design and other statistical topics UR - https://www.worldcat.org/title/likelihood/oclc/473870692&referer=brief_results ER -
