Possibly the single most important book I have ever read. It is impossible to agree with Jaynes in every respect but equally every point he raises is fundamental to the use of statistics in science. Anyone educated in the axiomatic tradition needs to read this. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0521592712, Hardcover)

Going beyond the conventional mathematics of probability theory, this study views the subject in a wider context. It discusses new results, along with applications of probability theory to a variety of problems. The book contains many exercises and is suitable for use as a textbook on graduate-level courses involving data analysis. Aimed at readers already familiar with applied mathematics at an advanced undergraduate level or higher, it is of interest to scientists concerned with inference from incomplete information.
