Description
Summary:"This book presents a philosophical study of statistics via the concept of data approximation. Developed by the well-regarded author, this approach discusses how analysis must take into account that models are, at best, an approximation of real data.

The book also includes an interesting discussion of the frequentist versus Bayesian debate in statistics. "--
