Fiducial inference was a form of statistical inference put forward by R A Fisher in an attempt to perform inverse probability without prior probability distributions. A fiducial interval may be used instead of a confidence interval or a Bayesian credible interval in order to measure the precision of a statistical estimate. Fiducial inference attracted controversy and was never universally accepted.

- Fiducial inference was a form of statistical inference put forward by R A Fisher in an attempt to perform inverse probability without prior probability distributions. A fiducial interval may be used instead of a confidence interval or a Bayesian credible interval in order to measure the precision of a statistical estimate. Fiducial inference attracted controversy and was never universally accepted. In 1978, JG Pederson wrote that "the fiducial argument has had very limited success and is now essentially dead. " Fisher did not develop fiducial inference substantially and many of the results he did get could also be obtained from Bayesian inference (which Fisher rejected philosophically), often using Jeffreys priors.
