    It is not the case that Evidential probability falls within attempts to establish the epistemic use of classical statistics

    Reasons For

    2 perspectives
    Reason for 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 for 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.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
