- What does fiducial mean (in the context of statistics)?
26 When I Google for "fisher" "fiducial" I sure get a lot of hits, but all the ones I've followed are utterly beyond my comprehension All these hits do seem to have one thing in common: they are all written for dyed-in-the-wool statisticians, people thoroughly steeped in the theory, practice, history, and lore of statistics
- What is the fiducial argument and why has it not been accepted?
One of the late contributions of R A Fisher was fiducial intervals and fiducial principled arguments This approach however is nowhere near as popular as frequentist or Bayesian principled argumen
- Fiducial Inference in Machine Learning - Cross Validated
I was looking at the Fiducial Inference page on wikipedia, which is an alternative to the traditional Frequentist and Bayesian standpoints Although it was out of favour in mainstream statistics fo

That is what led to fiducial inference A Link to the Savage article The Biography by Fisher's daughter Joan Fisher Box R A Fisher An Appreciation, Hinkley and Feinberg editors A book by Erich Lehmann about Fisher and Neyman and the birth of Classical Statistics This is a link to an earlier post that I commented on that you also posted
- Whats the difference between a confidence interval and a credible . . .
Joris and Srikant user28's exchange here got me wondering (again) if my internal explanations for the difference between confidence intervals and credible intervals were the correct ones How you
- Multiple comparisons with p-value corrections of fiducial limits?
We originally discussed differences based on non-overlapping fiducial limits, but a reviewer requested formal testing with correction for multiple comparisons How'd you address this request?
- Doing maximum p-value estimation instead of maximum likelihood
Whenever we do maximum likelihood estimation, we look for the parameters that maximize the probability density of the data On the other hand, when we compute p-values, we look at the tail probabil
- inference - Behrens–Fisher problem - Cross Validated
This problem was the one that exposed the difference between fiducial inference and the Neyman-Pearson hypothesis testing approach Prior to that Fisher recognized philosophical differences but thought that the two methods gave the same answers
