Recorded in March 2013. Sadly, Dennis passed away six months later, at 90, but will be forever remembered as a brilliant statistician and teacher. He kept the Bayesian flame alight during the "Dark Ages" of the 1950s to 1980s, and taught many of those who brought it brilliantly back to life, such as David Spiegelhalter, Adrian Smith and Tony O'Hagan himself.
El pasado mes de marzo, por iniciativa de la Royal Statistical Society, el professor Tony O'Hagan realizó esta entrevista al profesor Dennis V. Lindley sobre estadística bayesiana, motivada por dos sucesos específicos: el 250 aniversario de la publicación del teorema de Bayes, y el 90 cumpleaños del profesor Lindley.

An excellent discussion of a sensible, moderate, version of Bayesianism, applicable to what Savage calls 'small worlds'.
Great interview with a great Bayesian.

Fascinating how the discussion on expending small worlds given evidence maps on to the Black Swan narrative by Taleb!
