Discussion of "On the Birnbaum Argument for the Strong Likelihood Principle"

Methodology 2014-11-05 v1

Abstract

We discuss Birnbaum's result, its relevance to statistical reasoning, Mayo's objections and the result in [Electron. J. Statist. 7 (2013) 2645-2655] that the proof of this result doesn't establish what is commonly believed. [arXiv:1302.7021]
