About this book
Reviews
“I highly recommend this book for those readers interested in an accessible introduction to the problems related to the foundations of probability theory and statistics, with a very interesting compilation of references on the subject. Beside this, the ideas presented in the book open the door to interesting research inquiries in the field, especially those related to the foundations of quantum probability theory, quantum information theory and quantum statistical techniques.” (Federico Holik, Mathematical Reviews, December, 2015)
“Rocchi (IBM and LUISS Univ., Italy) begins by discussing two of these, the frequentist and the subjectivist approaches. … Each of the book's ten chapters ends with a list of recent papers on the topic, and the book ends with an interesting series of three appendixes. … This specialized work will mainly appeal to philosophers of probability. Summing Up: Recommended. Only comprehensive mathematics collections serving researchers/faculty.” (M. Bona, Choice, Vol. 52 (9), May, 2015)
