%0 Journal Article %T The Renegade Subjectivist: Jose Bernardo's Objective Bayesianism %A Jan Sprenger %J Rationality, Markets and Morals %D 2012 %I Frankfurt School Verlag %X This article motivates and discusses JosE Bernardo's attempt to reconcile the subjective Bayesian framework with a need for objective scientific inference, leading to a special kind of objective Bayesianism, namely reference Bayesianism. We elucidate principal ideas and foundational implications of Bernardo's approach, with particular attention to the classical problem of testing a precise null hypothesis against an unspecified alternative. %K philosophy of statistics %K statistical inference %K Bayesian inference %K reference Bayesianism %K hypothesis testing %K prior distributions %K parameter estimation %K loss functions %K invariance %U http://www.rmm-journal.de/downloads/Article_Sprenger.pdf
