Foundations of Probability Theory, Statistical Inference, and Statistical Theories of Science Volume III Foundations and Philosophy of Statistical Theories in the Physical Sciences
In May of 1973 we organized an international research colloquium on foundations of probability, statistics, and statistical theories of science at the University of Western Ontario. During the past four decades there have been striking formal advances in our understanding of logic, semantics and alg...
