Pragmatics of Uncertainty (Chapman & Hall/CRC Texts in Statistical Science) by Joseph B. Kadane - 2017

CRC Press, 2017. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. This collection reprints 15 of Kadane’s papers originally published between 1988 and 2013 to demonstrate the evolution of subjective Bayesian analysis over time as the increasing availability of computation changed the approach to applied problems. A foreword to each paper assesses whether Bayesian statics addresses real applied problems, conclusions are convincing, and data have been handled properly. The papers analyze the adverse impact of employer decisions, surveys missing data, vote tampering, harm done by mobility and class absence, employment discrimination, and killings in southern rural Norway.
