I plan to explore this question from various statistical perspectives, including Bayesian theory and probability measurement."

Is this sentence right? Bayesian theory and probability measurement are all sub-fields of statistics. Can they be considered as "perspectives"?

  • A 'perspective' in this sense is a 'point of view'. Strictly, you require "I plan to explore this question from various statistical perspectives, including those provided by Bayesian theory and probability measurement."

Absolutely, as per the definition

The interrelation in which a subject or its parts are mentally viewed places the issues in proper perspective

More simply, this use of perspective is valid insofar as it refers to any topic which could provide a framework for thought. Bayesian theory undoubtedly fits that mold.
