“两种文化”(2001)L.Breiman是来自加州大学伯克利分校的统计学家,曾担任过多个组织机构的统计顾问,为统计科学带来新的重要线索,在其论文《统计建模:两种文化》中,描述了有关从数据中获取价值的两种文化观点。“生成建模”文化寻求开发一种适合数据的随机模型,然后基于这些模型的架构推理出数据生成机制。该文化认为存在真实的数据生成模型,并且通常存在分析数据的“最佳”方法。Breiman认为98%的统计学家认同这种文化。Breiman本人以及许多计算机科学 “Two Cultures ” (2001) L. Breiman, a statistician from the University of California, Berkeley, has served as a statistical consultant to various organizations and brings new and important clues to the science of statistics. In his dissertation, Statistics Modeling: Two Cultures, “describes two cultural perspectives on how to get value from data. The Generative Modeling culture seeks to develop a stochastic model that fits data, and then deduces the data generation mechanism based on the schema of these models. The culture assumes that there is a real data generation model, and there is usually a ”best" way to analyze the data. Breiman thinks 98% of statisticians agree with this culture.
