inference 音标拼音: ['ɪnfɚəns] n. 推理,推论,推断,推测 推理,推论,推断,推测 inference推理 inference n 1: the reasoning involved in drawing a conclusion or making a logical judgment on the basis of circumstantial evidence and prior conclusions rather than on the basis of direct observation [ synonym: { inference}, { illation}] Inference \ In" fer* ence\, n. [ From { Infer}.] [ 1913 Webster] 1. The act or process of inferring by deduction or induction. [ 1913 Webster] Though it may chance to be right in the conclusions, it is yet unjust and mistaken in the method of inference. -- Glanvill. [ 1913 Webster] 2. That which inferred; a truth or proposition drawn from another which is admitted or supposed to be true; a conclusion; a deduction. -- Milton. [ 1913 Webster] These inferences, or conclusions, are the effects of reasoning, and the three propositions, taken all together, are called syllogism, or argument. -- I. Watts. Syn: Conclusion; deduction; consequence. Usage: { Inference}, { Conclusion}. An inference is literally that which is brought in; and hence, a deduction or induction from premises, -- something which follows as certainly or probably true. A conclusion is stronger than an inference; it shuts us up to the result, and terminates inquiry. We infer what is particular or probable; we conclude what is certain. In a chain of reasoning we have many inferences, which lead to the ultimate conclusion. " An inference is a proposition which is perceived to be true, because of its connection with some known fact." " When something is simply affirmed to be true, it is called a proposition; after it has been found to be true by several reasons or arguments, it is called a conclusion." -- I. Taylor.
