| Abstract |
In this paper I study Milton Friedman’s statistical education, paying special attention
to the different methodological approaches (Fisher, Neyman and Savage) to which he
was exposed. I contend that these statistical procedures involved different views as to
the evaluation of statistical predictions. In this light, the thesis defended in Friedman’s
1953 methodological essay appears substantially ungrounded
