Conclusion. 330 $aAn exploration of the statistical foundations of scientific inference, The Nature of Scientific Evidence asks what constitutes scientific evidence and whether scientific evidence can be quantified statistically. Mark Taper, Subhash Lele, and an esteemed group of contributors explore the relationships among hypotheses, models, data, and inference on which scientific progress rests in an attempt to develop a new quantitative framework for evidence. Informed by interdisciplinary discussions among scientists, philosophers, and statisticians, they propose a new "evidential" approach, which may be more in keeping with the scientific method. The Nature of Scientific Evidence persuasively argues that all scientists should care more about the fine points of statistical philosophy because therein lies the connection between theory and data. Though the book uses ecology as an exemplary science, the interdisciplinary evaluation of the use of statistics in empirical research will be of interest to any reader engaged in the quantification and evaluation of data. 606 $aScience$xStatistical methods 606 $aScience$xMethodology 615 0$aScience$xStatistical methods. 615 0$aScience$xMethodology. 676 $a507/.2 686 $aWC 7600$qSEPA$2rvk 701 $aTaper$b Mark L.$f1952-$01813208 701 $aLele$b Subhash$0308817 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910959598503321 996 $aThe nature of scientific evidence$94366092 997 $aUNINA
