Subjectivity in Science in Modern Times: The Bayesian Approach; Appendix: References by Field of Application for Bayesian Statistical Science; Bibliography; Subject Index; Name IndexComparing and contrasting the reality of subjectivity in the work of history's great scientists and the modern Bayesian approach to statistical analysisScientists and researchers are taught to analyze their data from an objective point of view, allowing the data to speak for themselves rather than assigning them meaning based on expectations or opinions. But scientists have never behaved fully objectively. Throughout history, some of our greatest scientific minds have relied on intuition, hunches, and personal beliefs to make sense of empirical data-and these subjective influences have oftWiley series in probability and statistics.Texts, references, and pocketbooks section.ResearchMethodologyBayesian statistical decision theorySubjectivityResearchMethodology.Bayesian statistical decision theory.Subjectivity.507/.2Press S.
