This volume aims to remedy these shortcomings. It provides state-of-the-art research in the area of philosophy of statistics by encouraging numerous experts to communicate with one another without feeling "restricted? by their disciplines or thinking "piecemeal? in their treatment of issues. A second goal of this book is to present work in the field without bias toward any particular statistical paradigm.
