Fisherian and frequentist approaches

68 Views Asked by At

I'm currently learning fundamentals of statistical inference. These concepts are of paramount importance as written in the textbook. However, I'm still confused about some details related it.

It says frequentist approaches is a sort of 'development' from the Fisherian approach, which focus on the idea of repeated sampling and likelihood. However, I'm still unclear about what are the exact characteristics of frequentist approach that makes it stand out as a separate methodology.

It would be great if there can be an example that illustrates a situation that the Fisherian and frequentist approach would arrive to different conclusion on the same statistical problem.

Many thanks for any help.
