Sommario/riassunto

This festschrift for Teddy Seidenfeld is a collection of newly commissioned essays on the foundations of probability and statistics by leading experts in the field. Each contribution touches on Teddy’s seminal contributions and gives an up-to-date state of the field that cannot be found elsewhere. The title, “a reflection on the foundations of probability and statistics”, which calls back to Teddy’s groundbreaking book (with Kadane and Schervish), “Rethinking the Foundations of Probability and Statistics”, bookends a career that has made fundamental contributions to a deeper understanding of uncertainty. It is aimed at all scholars engaged in probability and statistics.
