I'll be going to a hypothetical New Year's Eve party tonight. I hope D. G. Mayo will show up, but I'm doubtful. (Of course it's Covid-19 safe because it's only hypothetical)

@stephensenn @learnfromerror Hello Stephen, I've been following your work with enormous interest! Yes, apparently my distant ancestors lived near pear trees. Sorry to disappoint you on Christmas; we are Jewish. Thank you for writing, you are my first in 2020. @learnfromerror

[Allan Birnbaum @AllanBirnbaum]

This year I've decided to share physical lists of questions and comments on D. Deborah Mayo's book: Statistical Inference as Severe Testing: How to get beyond the stat wars. I don't know if she'll share them but she has them. Happy New Year!

@stephensenn @OstlundOllie But that was all Lindley's pompous wishful thinking. And despite Savage's hopes, no compelling sensitivities drove us to depart from the half way house(s) to embrace personalistic probability. Perhaps he would blame me. The one rock on a shifting sea remains the core of N and P.

@AllanBirnbaum @learnfromerror Great to hear from you Professor. As you know, “Birnbaum” means pear tree in German so we were expecting you on the 1st day of Christmas with Dr Rebhuhn but better late ...

I shall be capable of connecting through this medium for 3 days, should anyone care to write, or should I say tweet. I can just imagine some tweets I might have received from the likes of my friend J. Savage, if we had had twitter in my days.

If you want roses red,
These Valentine's Days
To not be misled
Go frequentist not Bayes

[Allan Birnbaum @AllanBirnbaum]

My rose has a leaf,
Its thorns are a terror
Please keep your belief–
I want probabilities of error

@learnfromerror I shall be delighted to meet you at the New Year's Eve party, and to your treating us to a bottle of Elbar Grease, ...or, at least to signing the copy of your book that I'm toting with me!

[Allan Birnbaum @AllanBirnbaum]

Had I been asked to endorse Mayo's new book, Statistical Inference as Severe Testing: How to Get Beyond the Statistics Wars (CUP), I would have echoed these thoughts!

[Allan Birnbaum @AllanBirnbaum]

This is more easily read (and there are 4 more inside I'll tweet):

It's nice to think that some people might still be reading my works. This was the Synthese volume published after my untimely demise. https://t.co/K3sLUNz1jT

[Allan Birnbaum @AllanBirnbaum]

I'm looking forward to a special Birthday party being held on my honour tomorrow.

[Allan Birnbaum @AllanBirnbaum]

Keep true love as your goal
For it is invincible.
Keep true error control,
Oust the Likelihood Principle

I thought I proved it,for a second

[Allan Birnbaum @AllanBirnbaum]

I'll be here at the non-public watering hole for 3.5 hours only.
