"The book . . . delivers on its promise. It should be read by all statisticians with an interest in the foundations and development of the statistical methods for inference."
~Michael J. Lew, University of Melbourne" . . . the book covers the motivations for the IM framework, the basic theory behind its calibration properties, a number of its applications and gives a new way of thinking compared to existing schools of thought on statistical inference"
