Abstract
It is widely thought that probability theory, laws of inference, and predictive procedures are among the most debated of disciplines. They have been such since the days of the Bernoullis and have remained such up to the present in terms of fundamentals, in spite of remarkable technical advances in the use and manipulation of the rules [1–3]. Thus the traditional controversy between frequencists and Bayesians continues unabated, with each side holding to its position tenaciously.
