- Principles of Uncertainty, page 1, emphasis added
I attended a statistics conference in January at which Jay Kadane (in attendence) was described as one of the last still-living original subjective Bayesians. I'm not sure how many currently practicing Bayesian hold to this line. For example, Brad Carlin, an organizer of said conference, mentioned Kadane's philosophical stance in this comment about a book he (Carlin) wrote:
Personally, I am of the Jaynesian school of thought which holds that if two agents have the same state of information, then they ought to assign the same probability distributions.
