前言
Most statistical work is concerned directly with the provision and implementa-tion of methods for study design and for the analysis and interpretation of data.The theory of statistics deals in principle with the general concepts underlyingall aspects of such work and from this perspective the formal theory of statisticalinference is but a part of that full theory. Indeed, from the viewpoint of indi-vidual applications, it may seem rather a small part. Concern is likely to be moreconcentrated on whether models have been reasonably formulated to addressthe most fruitful questions, on whether the data are subject to unappreciatederrors or contamination and, especially, on the subject-matter interpretation ofthe analysis and its relation with other knowledge of the field. Yet the formal theory is important for a number of reasons. Without somesystematic structure statistical methods for the analysis of data become a col-lection of tricks that are hard to assimilate and interrelate to one another, orfor that matter to teach. The development of new methods appropriate for newproblems would become entirely a matter of ad hoc ingenuity. Of course suchingenuity is not to be undervalued and indeed one role of theory is to assimilate,generalize and perhaps modify and improve the fruits of such ingenuity. Much of the theory is concerned with indicating the uncertainty involved inthe conclusions of statistical analyses, and with assessing the relative merits ofdifferent methods of analysis, and it is important even at a very applied level tohave some understanding of the strengths and limitations of such discussions.This is connected with somewhat more philosophical issues connected withthe nature of probability. A final reason, and a very good one, for study of thetheory is that it is interesting. The object of the present book is to set out as compactly as possible thekey ideas of the subject, in particular aiming to describe and compare the mainideas and controversies over more foundational issues that have rumbled on atvarying levels of intensity for more than 200 years.
