Discussion of "On the Birnbaum Argument for the Strong Likelihood Principle"

Abstract

In this discussion we demonstrate that fiducial distributions provide a natural example of an inference paradigm that does not obey Strong Likelihood Principle while still satisfying the Weak Conditionality Principle. [arXiv:1302.7021]
