A. W. F. Edwards Quote

There comes a time in the life of a scientist when he must convince himself either that his subject is so robust from a statistical point of view that the finer points of statistical inference he adopts are irrelevant or that the precise mode of inference he adopts is satisfactory.


Likelihood (p. xi), Cambridge University Press. 1972
