Abstract
We examine four core methods and principles of statistical inference and discuss implications among them. This leads to the consideration of some recent methods of obtaining distributions for inference concerning an interest parameter, free of nuisance parameters. A concluding section discusses some current methods for approximating the needed distributions.

Monte Carlo methods, in particular Markov chain Monte Carlo methods, have become increasingly important as a tool for practical Bayesian inference in recent years. A wide range of algorithms is available, and choosing an algorithm that will work well on a speci"c problem is challenging. It is theref
