Bayes or Bust? A Critical Examination of Bayesian Confirmation Theory

Rating:
Summary: This Book is a Bust
Review: This book strikes me as being more philosophy than mathematics. It discusses the meaning of belief, probability, confirmation, and evidence. The prose is verbose and the equations are terse. The book is filled with specialized jargon. Perhaps this book is brilliant in a narrow field. If you know what the hypotheticodeductive method is, then you may want consider what a reviewer who is familiar with the field has to say about this book. Otherwise, look elsewhere.
