By J. A. Hartigan (auth.)
This booklet is predicated on lectures given at Yale in 1971-1981 to scholars ready with a path in measure-theoretic likelihood. It includes one technical innovation-probability distributions during which the whole likelihood is limitless. Such mistaken distributions come up embarras singly usually in Bayes concept, specially in constructing correspondences among Bayesian and Fisherian suggestions. limitless possibilities create attention-grabbing problems in defining conditional chance and restrict ideas. the most effects are theoretical, probabilistic conclusions derived from probabilistic assumptions. an invaluable conception calls for principles for developing and analyzing chances. chances are computed from similarities, utilizing a formalization of the concept the longer term shall be just like the prior. chances are objectively derived from similarities, yet similarities are sUbjective judgments of people. after all the theorems stay actual in any interpretation of likelihood that satisfies the formal axioms.
