Chapter Chapter 2 in Epistemic Processes, 2021, pp 25-43 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract A summary of statistical inference theory as it has been developed up to now, is given. Both frequentist and Bayesian inference are covered. The recent concept of confidence distributions is described. As a preparation for the next chapter, statistical inference is also seen as a special case of inference in a general epistemic process.
