"Epistemology" is probably the best word.

[lbhnact]

Yeah, maybe 'Quantitative Epistemology'. You'd probably be thrown right out of the Philosophy department though.

[johncolanduoni]

Not really, many people who do philosophy of science/math have science/math PhDs as opposed to philosophy or other humanities.

[fmoralesc]

Only the name, the idea not at all. Formal Epistemology is actually a blooming subfield, Bayesian epistemology being a prominent example.

[marcosdumay]

Isn't the goal exactly getting thrown out of every department?

Noting that epistemology is concerned with the study of (the concept of) knowledge, and may (in principle) go beyond what’s involved in the purely scientific acquisition of such (if some non-scientific method for the acquisition of knowledge is to be accepted).

“Philosophy of science,” already mentioned, is probably a better fit. Once you go meta on science, after all, you are (arguably) not doing science anymore, so there is no harm in naming it a kind of philosophy.
