Any judgment that a given proposition is true on the basis of the truth of one or more other propositions.
The act or process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true. OR The act of reasoning from factual knowledge or evidence.
A reasoning process in which, from truths known, we conclude to a truth previously unknown.
ideas or facts that are implied or suggested rather than stated outright; evidence is usually some "prior knowledge"
The conclusions that one is able to draw from the data. Sometimes the numbers do not tell the whole story. Please see the section on How to use Canadian Cancer Surveillance On-Line. For instance it may seem that one area on a map has a particularly high cancer rate, when in fact it could be just be chance that the cases occurred that year. By checking the rates before and after, one would notice that the rates are more like the average over time. The statistical significance of the rate should also be considered.
3,4,5,7,8,9,10,11,12 A general conclusion drawn from information that is given.
A piece of reasoning consisting of one or more premises and a conclusion. See also valid.
The process of deriving conclusions from facts and knowledge.
A determination arrived at by reasoning; using facts to arrive at a broader conclusion.
a deduction based on gathered data Inquiry an investigation, formulating questions in order to determine new information
formerly a mode of reasoning, but now hypothesis and experiment, ¶1-2-5.
An inference is reasoning based on observation and experience. To infer is to arrive at a decision or opinion by reasoning from known facts. For example, I can see that the student described above is smiling. From this, I can infer from my experience that he is happy. It is particularly easy to think that an inference is a fact. It takes critical thinking to distinguish between the two. In the example of the smiling student, I do not know that the student is happy. He may be smiling for some other reason.
conclusion about a population parameter based upon analysis of a sample statistic. Inferences are always stated with a confidence level.
A conclusion arrived at from facts and by reasoning. Example: If you arrived at a gathering of friends and one of them was sitting in front of a decorated cake and blowing out candles, you would make the inference that it was a birthday celebration and the person celebrating the birthday was the one blowing out the candles.

an unavoidable conclusion based on evidence
a process in which one proposition (a conclusion) is arrived at and affirmed on the basis of one or more other propositions, which were accepted as the starting point of the process
a process of reasoning by which a fact or proposition is deduced fairly and logically from other facts proven or admitted
a process of reasoning by which a fact or proposition sought to be established is deduced as a logical consequence from other facts already proved or admitted
a proposition which is perceived to be true, because of its connection with some known fact
a step or process of reasoning

Movement from premises to conclusion. Also, sometimes simply a synonym for simple argument.

is the forming of a conclusion from premises by logical methods. ( Intro)
(1) This is an umbrella term referring to a final outcome of a study. The outcome may consist of a conclusion about, an understanding of, or an explanation for an event, a behavior, a relationship, or a case. (2) This is "a conclusion reached" where there is either (a) a "deduction from premises that are accepted as true" or (b) an induction by "deriving a conclusion from factual statements taken as evidence for the conclusion" (Angeles, 1981, p. 133). See also deductive inference (in research cycle), deductive logic, inductive inference (in research cycle), inductive logic, meta-inference (or integrated mixed inference), and retroductive inference.
