Epistemological Foundations of Statistics (Book).

There is a peculiar situation in statistics. Statisticians consider statistics as one integral subject, and, at the same time, artificially divide statistics into two conflicting parts: descriptive and inferential. Therefore, statisticians constantly fail in applied statistical research, especially in economics. Therefore, statisticians often lie with statistics and are often deceived by statistics. This situation is considered as a crisis in statistics. The article proposes a theory of coordination between statistical methods and statistical information, and to restore the continuity between notions in the theory of probability and in statistics. The theory of probability is the most abstract mathematical science, with unlimited scope of application. However, the essential question of the theory of probability has not been solved. The application of statistics in economics can be considered as an art where imagination predominates. Statistics is a methodological science and is a dialectical juxtaposition of quality (object, data) and quantity (method). Coordination between data and method is based on the principal rule that a population must be homogeneous.
