Abstract
The author gives, briefly and clearly, the meaning of maximum likelihood and discusses various ways of interpreting it, and the assumption concerning inverse probabilities on which it is, or might be, based. "The populations concerning the parameters to be estimated are supposed to be distributed in such a way that if we follow the principle of maximum likelihood, we shall be right in a greater number of cases." "One of the ways in which the population could be distributed to justify this assumption would be that indicated by Bayes'' Postulate.".
