"The value of
science lies in its ability to uncover stable relationships which persist in space
and time. If the statistical approach to complex systems is to do more than
simply to record the passing scene it also must seek to identify and extract
law-like relationships. Invariants, i.e. patterns which persist, are the
basis for forecasting, control and insight." Bartholomew, David
J. "What is statistics?" Journal of the
Royal Statistical Society. Series A. Statistics in Society 158.1 (1995):
1-20, p.9. |
