Comments on Breiman: Statistical Modelling: The Two Cultures and Commentaries

Abstract

Abstract:In a challenging paper 20 years ago, Leo Breiman challenged the statistical culture of his time. Some perceptive comments by David Cox and Brad Efron appeared with it. In this paper I try to look at this work in the light of modern culture and find much to agree but also much to disagree with. It's still a pleasure to read.
