Theory Of Probability 3rd Edn

Bol

Published in 1939, this book was the first to develop a fundamental theory of scientific inference based on the ideas of Bayesian statistics. Recent advances in computer power and availability have brought Bayesian statistics into the limelight and make this book a must for all serious statisticians. Another title in the reissued Oxford Classic Texts in the Physical Sciences series, Jeffrey's Theory of Probability, first published in 1939, was the first to develop a fundamental theory of scientific inference based on the ideas of Bayesian statistics. His ideas were way ahead of their time and it is only in the past ten years that the subject of Bayes' factors has been significantly developed and extended. Until recently the two schools of statistics (Bayesian and Frequentist) were distinctly different and set apart. Recent work (aided by increased computer power and availability) has changed all that and today's graduate students and researchers all require an understanding of Bayesian ideas. This book is their starting point.
