Is the Statistical Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics Implied by the Correspondence Principle ?

Abstract

The classical limit of the Schrodinger equation implies the orthodox statistical interpretation for degrees of freedom in finite-dimensional subspaces of the full Hilbert space, but the argument presented does not imply the Born interpretation for degrees of freedom that have a classical counterpart.
