A History of Inverse Probability

PRELIMINARY TEXT. DO NOT USE This is a history of the use of Baye's theorem over 150 years, from its discovery by Thomas Bayes to the rise of statistical competitors in the first third of the twentieth century. The new edition examines the development of the fundamental aspects of Bayesian statistics. There are new sections on contributors to the theory and amplified discussion of revelant work from the first edition.
