How Likelihood and Identification Went Bayesian
本文探讨了似然和识别这两个概念如何被纳入贝叶斯理论,揭示了似然顺利融入而识别引发长期争论的过程,适合对统计理论发展感兴趣的读者。
This paper considers how the concepts of likelihood and identification became part of Bayesian theory.This makes a nice study in the development of concepts in statistical theory.Likelihood slipped in easily but there was a protracted debate about how identification should be treated.Initially there was no agreement on whether identification involved the prior, the likelihood or the posterior.
