Elementary hypothesis testing

"To form a judgment about the likely truth or falsity of any proposition A, the correct principle is to calculate the probability that A is true:

 

P(A|E₁, E₂, …)

 

conditional on all the evidence at hand."

 

E. T. Jaynes: Probability Theory: The Logic of Science.

A well written and interesting book, a recommended read for any scientist.
