Research
A conclusion reached by reasoning from evidence — deductive inference guarantees its conclusion, inductive makes it probable, abductive picks the best explanation; statistical inference generalises from a sample to a population, using probability to quantify the uncertainty involved.
A second entry for this term. The fuller version, with everything from both, is at Inference.
Rewritten from a truncated AJG archive entry, August 2026.
