請教David Kerridge 關於 ' epistemological probability".

Scientific Inference (Harold Jeffreys) 科學推斷
Dear David,

I came across a Chinese translation of Scientific Inference by Sir Harold Jeffreys. Unfortunately it is a second edition one .
I can browse it in Google Books, it is a third edition.
I don't know exactly the meaning of his ' epistemological probability".
And what is the main difference between his view of probability and Dr. Deming's.
Perhaps you might be of help to explain it to us.

Regards,
Hanching

Dear Hanching,


That's a really difficult question. I will do what I can, but I had
better think first how to put it.

It happens that I spent years trying to solve to problems of "What is
probability?"

Scientific Inference was one of the books that I found very inspiring.
But so were a lot of others.


Anyway, I will try to make some useful comments next week. But I must
find a way to reduce it to a few words.


Best wishes

David
