Zusammenfassung: | In celebration of the centenary of the birth of Sir Ronald Fisher, this paper explores Fisher's conception of statistical inference, with special attention to the importance he placed on choosing an appropriate frame of reference to define the inferential model. In particular, we investigate inferential models which respect the likelihood principle or the prequential principle, and argue that these will typically have an asymptotic sampling theory justification. |
