e/Fiducial inference

Information
has gloss	eng: In the history of statistical inference theory, fiducial inference was proposed by R A Fisher. Fiducial inference can be interpreted as an attempt to perform inverse probability without calling on prior probability distributions. In interval estimation, "fiducial intervals" have been sometimes compared with standard approaches: confidence intervals for the estimate of a parameter (using the probability distribution of the estimator), and Bayesian credible intervals (for the posterior probability that the interval contain the true value).
