Good's writing on a wide range of questions about the foundations of statistical inference, especially where induction intersects with philosophy. Good believes that clear reasoning about many important practical and philosophical questions is impossible except in terms of probability. This book collects from various published sources 23 of Good's articles with an emphasis on more philosophical than mathematical. He covers such topics as rational decisions, randomness, operational research, measurement of knowledge, mathematical discovery, ar 606 $aProbabilities 615 0$aProbabilities. 676 $a519.2 700 $aGood$b Irving John$047268 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782406203321 996 $aGood thinking$93820677 997 $aUNINA
