Deborah G. Mayo Did Pearson Reject the Neyman-pearson Philosophy of Statistics?*
I document some of the main evidence showing that E. S. Pearson rejected the key features of the behavioral-decision philosophy that became associated with the Neyman-Pearson Theory of statistics (NPT). I argue that NPT principles arose not out of behavioral aims, where the concern is solely with behaving correctly sufficiently often in some long run, but out of the epistemological aim of learn...
متن کاملStatistical Science Meets Philosophy of Science Part 2: Shallow versus Deep Explorations
Inability to clearly defend against the criticisms of frequentist methods has turned many a frequentist away from venturing into foundational battlegrounds. Conceding the distorted perspectives drawn from overly literal and radical expositions of what Fisher, Neyman, and Pearson ‘really thought’, some deny they matter to current practice. The goal of this paper is not merely to call attention t...

متن کاملMisplaced Criticisms of Neyman-Pearson Testing in the Case of Two Simple Hypotheses∗
The main aim of this note is to revisit the widely-used Bayesian criticism that in the case of simple vs. simple hypotheses Neyman-Pearson (N-P) testing gives rise to fallacious results. Using a particular example in Berger and Wolpert (1988) the paper argues that the Bayesian criticism is based on inadequate understanding of N-P testing and an erroneous intuition stemming from Bayesian reasoni...
متن کاملModels and Statistical Inference: The Controversy between Fisher and Neyman–Pearson
The main thesis of the paper is that in the case of modern statistics, the differences between the various concepts of models were the key to its formative controversies. The mathematical theory of statistical inference was mainly developed by Ronald A. Fisher, Jerzy Neyman, and Egon S. Pearson. Fisher on the one side and Neyman–Pearson on the other were involved often in a polemic controversy....
