An Introduction to Probability and Inductive Logic by Ian Hacking
Have any of you read this book?
I have been invited to join a reading group based around it for the coming academic year and would like the opinions of this group as to whether it's worth it.
I may join in just for the section on Bayes. I might even finally discover the correct pronunciation of "Bayesian". ("Bay-zian" or "Bye-zian"?)
Here's a link to the book: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Introduction-Probability-Inductive-Logic/dp/0521775019/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1283464939&sr=8-2
I've only ever heard Bayesian pronounced "Bay-zian".
That's how I usually hear it ("Bayes"+"ian", right?), though I've also heard it pronounced like "Basian" (rhyming with "Asian") or occasionally "Bay-esian" (rhyming with "Cartesian").
