Exploring Inductive Risk: Case Studies of Values in Science
Kevin Christopher Elliott & Ted Richards (eds.)
New York: Oup Usa (2017)
Abstract
This book brings together eleven case studies of inductive risk-the chance that scientific inference is incorrect-that range over a wide variety of scientific contexts and fields. The chapters are designed to illustrate the pervasiveness of inductive risk, assist scientists and policymakers in responding to it, and productively move theoretical discussions of the topic forward.Author's Profile
