About the Author

Richard Royall

Reviews

"...provides the explicit concept of evidence missing from the other approaches."
-Aslib Book Guide
"…the book is well written and readable."
--Hoben Thomas, Journal of Mathematical Psychology
"This (hardback) book provides a very readable discussion of a possible alternative to both the Neyman-Pearson and the Fisherian approaches to the problem of interpreting data as evidence…present this area of work in a accessible manner with a clear readable style. The main ideas are made easy to understand and well illustrated with some interesting examples, including in an appendix the paradox of the ravens. Diagrams and tables are well used in this respect and the number of formulae is kept low, which aids readability…provides a well-presented discussion of an interesting new way of looking at data which would be accessible to most with some understanding of statistics. For this reason I would recommend it to a library."
--Thomas Chadwick, University of Newcastle, Biometrics
