- Beginning in the 1970s, statistician-cum-logician Per Martin-Löf wrote a series of papers developing what became Martin-Löf type theory, realizing a system where the distinction between mathematics and programming disappears. Inspired by this vision, this paper introduces dependent type theory (of which Martin-Löf type theory is an example) to a statistical audience. Examples from statistics and probability theory demonstrate how dependent type theory and an algebraic perspective can unify the theoretical and computational concerns of statistics, ensuring rigorous, machine-checked proofs and executable software.
