Chapter 1. Science and Statistics

1.1 The Learning Process

Scientific research is a process of guided learning. The object of statistical methods is to make that process as efficient as possible.

Learning is advanced by the iteratin illustrated in Figure 1.1. An initial hypothesis leads by a process of deduction to certain necessary consequences that may be compared with data. When consequences and data fit to agree, the discrepancy can lead, by a process called induction, to modification of the hypothesis.
