<dt>Description</dt>
<dd>By elaborating on the concept of information (herein represented by a specific generalization of the entropy) we propose an unified picture for statistical inference which treats on equivalent footing the "Bayesian" and "frequentist" views on the concept of probability. We illustrate on the Envelope Game.</dd>
