    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • Evidential probability was developed as a logical system to deal consistently with the results of classical statistical analyses
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    2 perspectives
    Reason against 1 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Evidential probability, as developed by Kyburg, operates as a purely logical relation between evidence and hypothesis, independent of frequentist sampling distributions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Classical statistics grounds inference in long-run frequency behavior of procedures, not in logical relationships between propositions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A framework that rejects the procedural foundation of classical statistics cannot coherently be classified as an epistemic extension of it.

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reason against 2 of 2
    ?
    • 1.Hacking's distinction between inference to the truth of hypotheses and the classical statistician's evaluation of procedures shows these are fundamentally incompatible epistemic projects.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Evidential probability assigns degrees of belief to singular propositions, whereas classical statistics deliberately avoids such assignments to maintain objectivity.

    The theory of evidential probability originates in Kyburg (1961), who developed a logical system to deal consistently with the results of classical statistical analyses. Evidential probability thus falls within the attempts to establish the epistemic use of classical statistics. Haenni et al (2010) and Kyburg and Teng (2001) present an insightful introduction to evidential probability. The system is based on a version default reasoning: statistical hypotheses come attached with a confidence le
