And there is so much more.  Several specific statistical techniques, like factor analysis and the theory of Bayesian networks, invite conceptual discussion of their own accord. Numerous topics within the philosophy of science lend themselves to statistical elucidation, e.g., the coherence, informativeness, and surprise of evidence. And in turn there is a wide range of discussions in the philosophy of science that inform a proper understanding of statistics. Among them are debates over experimentation and intervention, concepts of chance, the nature of scientific models, and theoretical terms. The reader is invited to consult the entries on these topics to find further indications of how they relate to the philosophy of statistics.
