Principles of uncertainty
Written in an appealing, inviting style, and packed with interesting examples, this book introduces the most compelling parts of mathematics, computing, and philosophy as they bear on statistics. Although many books present the computation of a variety of statistics and algorithms while barely skimming the philosophical ramifications of subjective probability, this book takes a different tack. By addressing how to think about uncertainity, this book gives the reader the intuition and understanding required to choose a particular method for a particular purpose. -- from Back Cover.
