Description
This session will address basic philosophical questions in statistics. These will include how to represent uncertainty and evidential support, and how these should be connected to decision-making. It will include talks that examine conceptual challenges for the Bayesian programme, as well as issues in frequentist methods such as the status of significance testing.
Session Chair: Boris Babic
