Why I Am Not a Likelihoodist

Frequentist statistical methods continue to predominate in many areas of science despite prominent calls for "statistical reform." They do so in part because their main rivals, Bayesian methods, appeal to prior probability distributions that arguably lack an objective justification in typical cases. Some methodologists find a third approach called likelihoodism attractive because it avoids important objections to frequentism without appealing to prior probabilities. However, likelihoodist methods do not provide guidance for belief or action, but only assessments of data as evidence. I argue that there is no good way to use those assessments to guide beliefs or actions without appealing to prior probabilities, and that as a result likelihoodism is not a viable alternative to frequentism and Bayesianism for statistical reform efforts in science.

Yorkville/Glen Palmer Dam alternative analysis and preliminary design project OWR-02-003 : Yorkville, Illinois, Kendall County.

This executive summary report summarizes the results of an alternative evaluation and preliminary design study for improvements to, or removal of, the Glen D. Palmer Dam in Yorkville, Illinois. This study was conducted to recommend the best method of improving the hydraulic conditions at the downstream face of the dam, reconnect the river with respect to fish movement, and provide safe canoe passage through the dam site. The recommended alternative was developed by working with a Citizen Advisory Committee to involve the public throughout the study.

"Florence Nightingale based her statistical methods upon this book by Quetelet, which appeared 20 years before her statistical surveys. The author presented to her the second augmented edition in 1869. She called him 'the founder of the most important science in the world.' She meant to dedicate to Quetelet an essay on the application of his discoveries, 'to explain the Plan of God in teaching us by these results the laws by which our Moral Progress is to be attained.'"--Elmer Belt Florence Nightingale collection (1958), p. 17.
