Вот утверждение статьи из Вики:

In the statistical theory of estimation, the problem of estimating the maximum of a discrete uniform distribution from sampling without replacement is known in English as the German tank problem, due to its application in World War II to the estimation of the number of German tanks.

This analysis shows the approach that was used and illustrates the difference between frequentist inference and Bayesian inference.

А вот статья нормальных специалистов:

А теперь найдите в работе Richard Ruggles и Henry Brodie упоминание "frequentist inference" and "Bayesian inference".
