The position of likelihoodism is based on a specific combination of views on probability. On the one hand, it only employs probabilities over sample space, and avoids putting probabilities over statistical hypotheses. It thereby avoids the use of probability that cannot be given a physical interpretation. On the other hand, it does interpret the probabilities over sample space as components of a support relation, and thereby as pertaining to the epistemic rather than the physical realm. Notably, the likelihoodist approach fits well with a long history in formal approaches to epistemology, in particular with confirmation theory (see Fitelson 2007), in which the probability theory is used to spell out confirmation relations between data and hypotheses. Measures of confirmation invariably take the likelihoods of hypotheses as input components. They provide a quantitative expression of the support relations described by the law of likelihood.
