Description
This book bridges the gap between statistics and philosophy by exploring the conceptual cores of various statistical methodologies and their philosophical implications.
It examines how different statistical approaches, such as Bayesian and frequentist statistics, model selection, machine learning, and causal inference, relate to epistemological assumptions. The book also delves into the ontological foundations of statistical reasoning, including concepts like natural kinds and causal structures.
By drawing parallels between statistical methods and philosophical epistemology, this book reveals previously overlooked connections between the two disciplines. It is an accessible introduction to the philosophical aspects of statistics, making it a valuable resource for those looking to understand the underlying principles of statistical inquiry.
