Originally published in 1966. An introduction to current studies of
kinds of inference in which validity cannot be determined by
ordinary deductive models. In particular, inductive inference,
predictive inference, statistical inference, and decision making
are examined in some detail. The last chapter discusses the
relationship of these forms of inference to philosophical notions
of rationality. Special features of the monograph include a
discussion of the legitimacy of various criteria for successful
predictive inference, the development of an intuitive model which
exhibits the difficulties of choosing probability measures over
infinite sets, and a comparison of rival views on the foundations
of probability in terms of the amount of information which the
members of these schools believe suitable for fruitful
formalization. The bibliographies include articles by statisticians
accessible to students of symbolic logic.
