Extract
B. J. R. Bailey’s article in Gazette LVII, 169–174 (October 1973) worried me a little, because it seemed to suggest support for a widespread misapprehension, that mathematical statistics differs from other branches of applied mathematics in requiring a good deal of subjective argument. Every application of mathematics involves judgement, of course, but statistics does not really go beyond other applications in this respect.
