摘要： 统计学是一个向门外汉传达起来尤为困难的领域。 它横跨抽象与具体、理论与应用。 它带有数学的味道，却又不仅仅是一门数学分支学科。 它的核心问题与那些探究智能和思维本质的学科（尤其是哲学、心理学和人工智能）的问题交织在一起。 关于基础问题的争论时起时伏，但该领域尚未形成一种单一的基础观点。 显示英文摘要

摘要： Statistics is a uniquely difficult field to convey to the uninitiated. It sits astride the abstract and the concrete, the theoretical and the applied. It has a mathematical flavor and yet it is not simply a branch of mathematics. Its core problems blend into those of the disciplines that probe into the nature of intelligence and thought, in particular philosophy, psychology and artificial intelligence. Debates over foundational issues have waxed and waned, but the field has not yet arrived at a single foundational perspective.
