These sparkling essays by a gifted thinker offer philosophical views on the roots of statistical interference. A pioneer in the early development of computing, Irving J. Good made fundamental contributions to the theory of Bayesian inference and was a key member of the team that broke the German Enigma code during World War II. Good maintains that a grasp of probability is essential to answering both practical and philosophical questions. This compilation of his most accessible works concentrates on philosophical rather than mathematical subjects, ranging from rational decisions, randomness, and the nature of probability to operational research, artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and chess.These twenty-three self-contained articles represent the author's work in a variety of fields but are unified by a consistently rational approach. Five closely related sections explore Bayesian rationality; probability; corroboration, hypothesis testing, and simplicity; information and surprise; and causality and explanation. A comprehensive index, abundant references, and a bibliography refer readers to classic and modern literature. Good's thought-provoking observations and memorable examples provide scientists, mathematicians, and historians of science with a coherent view of probability and its applications.

Stopped working in 4 months
Color: Black
It’s hard to find a whisker that has good reviews. I was hopeful with this one because I wanted multiple attachments and speeds. When I received it I was close to returning it because the attachments were hard to take off and very fragile. I should have returned it at that point because 4 months later Ive missed the return window. I did not use often and if I did it would have broken sooner. All of the sudden it stopped spinning. I recharged it overnight and it didn’t help. Of the three speeds, non work except the middle speed that spins at a wonky pace, and turns off randomly. It’s garbage.

Good mixer and good customer service!
Color: Black
We were really enjoying this frother, one day it turned on and smoked a little and wouldn’t turn off; we contacted the seller and they sent a replacement immediately, had it within a week! Very good customer service.

Works good but have only tried it on fine setting.
Works good but should have an overall cap as seasoning gathers around the inside.
