Wesley C. Salmon 
Statistical Explanation and Statistical Relevance [PDF ebook] 

Support

According to modern physics, many objectively improbable events actually occur, such as the spontaneous disintegration of radioactive atoms. Because of high levels of improbability, scientists are often at a loss to explain such phenomena. In this main essay of this book, Wesley Salmon offers a solution to scientific explanation based on the concept of statistical relevance (the S-R model). In this vein, the other two essays herein discuss ‚Statistical Relevance vs. Statistical Inference, ‚ and ‚Explanation and Information.‘
