Mathematical Gazette Full of appropriate examples (especially from genetics) and historical commentary, this monograph offers a rare simultaneous treatment of both mathematical and philosophical foundations. American Mathematical Monthly This book is commended to all philosophers of science who are interested in the problems of scientific inference. Search This book, by a well-known geneticist, will do much to publicize the generality of the likelihood method as a foundation for statistical procedure. It is both smoothly written and persuasive.
