提出了一个实证科学的正面模型,分析师在观察数据后向听众报告,听众因信念或目标不同而对同一报告做出不同反应,并与经典统计模型对比,发现该模型更符合实际。

Abstract

We propose a positive model of empirical science in which an analyst makes a report to an audience after observing some data. Agents in the audience may differ in their beliefs or objectives, and may therefore update or act differently following a given report. We contrast the proposed model with a classical model of statistics in which the report directly determines the payoff. We identify settings in which the predictions of the proposed model differ from those of the classical model, and seem to better match practice.
