Why is this here now? I thought you made it clear years ago that you found the whole issue of the LP too provocative...or something.
ReplyDeleteI found the issue of LP to be of substantial interest to Bayesians. It was your anti-Bayesian mania which I found provocative, I'm sure that you're a closet admirer---
ReplyDeleteMaybe I could take this opportunity to ask Deborah how non-Bayesians are able to perform finite sample size non-linear parametric inference in non-trivial situations without using asymptotic approximations or some sort of bootstrap procedure which screws up the measures of uncertainty? For example, how would you analyses a quadratic logistic regression model?
