This monograph presents a radical rethinking of how elementary
inferences should be made in statistics, implementing a
comprehensive alternative to hypothesis testing in which the
control of the probabilities of the errors is replaced by selecting
the course of action (one of the available options) associated with
the smallest expected loss.
Its strength is that the inferences are responsive to the
elicited or declared consequences of the erroneous decisions, and
so they can be closely tailored to the client s perspective,
priorities, value judgments and other prior information, together
with the uncertainty about them."
