I don't think you're engaging in the specific sense of objective (, subjective) meant here.
A frequentist interpretation of probability is objective in the sense that it grounds the probability value in objective features of the world.
A bayesian is subjective in that the probability valuation of an event is grounded in the belief-state of its observer.
- cultus 6y agoMy point is you that you cannot ever actually claim to ground a probability value in objective features of the world. Many events aren't repeated, for example.
- mjburgess 6y agoSure you can, frequentists do not ground probability in repetition. Repetition is just a measurement process. Their grounding is some real physical parameter, eg., with the coin the geometry of it having two sides.
