Download or read book Bernoulli s Fallacy written by Aubrey Clayton and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a logical flaw in the statistical methods used across experimental science. This fault is not a minor academic quibble: it underlies a reproducibility crisis now threatening entire disciplines. In an increasingly statistics-reliant society, this same deeply rooted error shapes decisions in medicine, law, and public policy with profound consequences. The foundation of the problem is a misunderstanding of probability and its role in making inferences from observations. Aubrey Clayton traces the history of how statistics went astray, beginning with the groundbreaking work of the seventeenth-century mathematician Jacob Bernoulli and winding through gambling, astronomy, and genetics. Clayton recounts the feuds among rival schools of statistics, exploring the surprisingly human problems that gave rise to the discipline and the all-too-human shortcomings that derailed it. He highlights how influential nineteenth- and twentieth-century figures developed a statistical methodology they claimed was purely objective in order to silence critics of their political agendas, including eugenics. Clayton provides a clear account of the mathematics and logic of probability, conveying complex concepts accessibly for readers interested in the statistical methods that frame our understanding of the world. He contends that we need to take a Bayesian approach—that is, to incorporate prior knowledge when reasoning with incomplete information—in order to resolve the crisis. Ranging across math, philosophy, and culture, Bernoulli’s Fallacy explains why something has gone wrong with how we use data—and how to fix it.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Metric Fallacy: And the Metric Failure in the Textile Industry This book is an outgrowth of a paper presented to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers at its December, 1902, meeting and the discussion which followed, and by permission of the Council of that Society much of the paper is here included. The points raised in the discussion have been rewritten and placed in their appropriate places. The list of countries in which it was shown in the paper that old units continue in use has been about quadrupled, while new chapters have been added on The Reasons for the Failure of Compulsory Laws, Scientific and Industrial Measurements, Scientific and Industrial Difficulties, "The Government Will Pay the Cost," The "Confusion" of our Weights and Measures, The Complications Due to a Mixture of Units, The Inaccuracy of the Meter, The Abandoned Portions of the Metric System and The Object of the Bill. Part II. on The Metric Failure in the Textile Industry has also been entirely rewritten and is believed to be the first critical anti-metric analysis of the system from the standpoint of the textile industry that has been made. The table of Continental systems of numbering spun yam has been compiled from the latest French, German and Spanish authorities and submitted to several practical French and German textile manufacturers and merchants for examination and criticism. One of them, a large dealer in yams and the proprietor of a German conditioning house, returned the list with a suggestion which has been adopted, as to the method of expressing the equivalents of each system, and added this remark: "The work is very useful and instructive." This table is believed to be the most complete of its kind ever published. Care has been taken to eliminate all systems not in actual use. The list will therefore be useful not only in showing the Continental chaos of textile weights and measures, but also in aiding the unfortunate Continental manufacturers in finding the reciprocal equivalents of the multifarious systems of yarn counts with which they are now tormented.
