Talk:Edwin Thompson Jaynes
|
|
The last few lines of this article seem to be rather POV:
"His last book Probability Theory: The Logic of Science gathers together multiple threads of modern thinking regarding Bayesian probability and statistical inference, tying them into a powerful and coherent whole.
"He also illuminates the inconsistencies, inefficiencies and limitations of other techniques, but builds his argument on comparison of results, side-stepping the rhetoric that has mired such discussion in the past. "
Might they be improved by dumping the last paragraph, and the last statement of the previous one? Ben Cairns 23:11, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- I should prefer that they be rephrased for neutrality. The sentences in question certainly describe what Jaynes tried to do. The question of his success is, of course, a matter of opinion. -- Cyan 23:16, 14 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Good point. Done, I think. Ben Cairns 00:29, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
- Very nice. -- Cyan 02:57, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
