Abstract

The present paper provides the original formulation and a joint response of a group of statistically trained scientists to fourteen cryptic issues for discussion, which were handed out to the public by Professor Dr. D.R. Cox after his Bernoulli Lecture 1997 at Groningen University. Cette étude contient la formulation originaire et des éponses conjointes par un groupe de scientifiques fornés en statistique sur quattorze ‘problèmes cryptiques pour discuter’ posés au public par Professor Dr. D. R. Cox après son Discours de Bernoulli en 1997 ‘a l'Universitée de Groningue.
