  3. Inferential Reasoning? Inference in·fer·ence • conclusion: a conclusion drawn from evidence or reasoning • reasoning process: the process of reasoning from a premise to a conclusion • implication: something that is implied

  4. Human Inference An off-hand phrase taken to mean “inferences we make from statistical constructs like charts, graphs, simple summaries.” Think of it as how you immediately operationalize statistical information. “Reflexive” inferences. Formal inference is something else and down the road.
