Abstract: Abstract A conceptual variable is defined, and on this background the e-variable is given a precise definition. Also, the context of an epistemic process is defined. One can formulate a precise setting called a generalized experiment, and in this setting sufficiency and conditioning are discussed. The conditionality principle and the sufficiency principle are seen as intuitively obvious. Birnbaum’s theorem states that the likelihood principle follows from these two principles. Everything is seen in the context of an epistemic process.
