Summer Seminar in Philosophy of Statistics: July 28 - August 11, 2019

                SUMMER SEMINAR
<br>
<br>*PHILOSOPHY OF STATISTICS*
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>Today’s statistical crisis of replication is causing much introspection
<br>among practitioners, and serious changes in evidence policies are being
<br>debated. The issues cry out for philosophical illumination. We will offer a
<br>2-week immersive seminar on Philosophy of Statistics (PhilStat) for faculty
<br>and post-docs in philosophy who wish to acquire or strengthen their
<br>background in PhilStat as it relates to philosophical problems of evidence
<br>and inference, to today’s statistical crisis of replication, and associated
<br>evidence-policy debates. We also invite social scientists and methodology
<br>researchers interested in strengthening their philosophical scholarship in
<br>this arena. Approximately 12-15 applicants will be selected.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>*Goals for participants:*
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>(1) Gain the necessary background in statistical methodology to integrate
<br>PhilStat into their research and/or teaching.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>(2) Study current debates between frequentist, Bayesian, likelihoodist and
<br>other methods, as they interrelate to (i) philosophical problems of
<br>evidence and inference, and to (ii) today’s data and statistical policy
<br>debates.
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>*All accepted participants will receive housing and a stipend*
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>*Place:* Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, VA
