This book deals with the philosophical and methodological aspects of information technology and the collection and analysis of data to provide insight into a problem, whether it is scientific research, policy making by government or decision making in our daily lives. The author seeks to dispels the doubts that chance is an expression of our ignorance which makes accurate prediction impossible and illustrates how our thinking has changed with quantification of uncertainty by showing that chance is no longer the obstructor but a way of expressing our knowledge. Indeed, chance can create and help in the investigation of truth. This theory is eloquently demonstrated with numerous examples of applications that statistics is the science, technology and art of extracting information from data and is based on a study of the laws of chance. It shows how statistical ideas played a vital role in scientific and other investigations even before statistics was recognized as a separate discipline, and how statistics is now evolving as a versatile, powerful and inevitable tool in diverse fields of human endeavour such as literature, legal matters, industry, archaeology and medicine. The use of statistics to the layman in improving the quality of life through wise decision-making is emphasized.
还是大一时读过,那时候主要感觉是:不明觉厉。现在重读理解的就多多了。这不是一本用公式理 论推导写成的专业书籍,而是从统计科学结 构、思想甚至思考角度构成的专业书籍。没 有太多的公式,更注重解释统计科学的基本 思路,对于入门或梳理统计学都相当有帮 助。
評分 評分《统计与真理:怎样运用偶然性》是当代国际最著名的统计学家之一C.R.劳的一部统计学哲理论著,也是他毕生统计学术思想的总结,同时还是一本通俗的关于统计学原理的普及教科书。书中,作者从哲学的角度论述了统计学原理,通过实例,不仅证明了统计学是一门最严格、最合理的认识论...
評分不夸张地说,这是一本巅峰我个人世界观的书。(仅仅对我而言)。我从这本书里学到最重要的一点就是随机性是自然界固有的。某些科学成就(也许是所有?)并不是依赖于因果律,而是具有统计学特征。虽然以前了解过量子不确定性还有哥德尔的不完备性,也思考过我们的物理定...
評分後麵不如前麵精彩。或者是因為我更稀罕抽象的東西。 中間有些頁很技術流,居多公式,迴北京打印齣來纔能看。。。
评分Figures won't lie, but liars can figure.
评分喜歡第一章關於混沌理論和chance關於random的解釋。希望知識背景強的時候再看第四章
