Partly inference, partly chance.

So let's think about the inference.

And the key idea to Bayesian inference is you have two sources of information from which to make your inference.

And what it means is we really are Bayesian inference machines.

Eastern thinking, by contrast, has been abductive, moving from pragmatism to guessing the next steps. Abductive inference is pragmatic, looking only at outcomes, guessing at the rule, and identifying the cause.

In particular, the rise of emerging markets has challenged traditional Western deductive and inductive logic. Deductive inference enables us to predict effects if we know the principles (the rule) and the cause.

Many people have inferred from this sequence of events that US banks which are critical to both the American and world economies are now out of trouble. But that inference is seriously mistaken.

His inference that there is a quot refugee quot problem in South Cyprus and the deliberate use of other phony or misleading terminology is ludicrous and constitutes an affront to the international community.

While the Department of Management provides leadership and sets policy within the domains of financial and administrative management and, in that role, often creates the conditions for productivity gains, those gains can only be claimed by inference.

They believed that any inference of progression would build undue expectations for staff and would prevent organizations from having the flexibility to successfully manage five year contracts as it would force them to convert these to continuing appointments.

Finally, the author admits that while all these allegations of corruption in paragraphs 3.2 to 3.4 do not constitute direct evidence, the combination of these events raise a strong inference of bias or at least unfairness against the author.

So through this method of inference and we're measuring blood flow, not neural activity we say that an area of the brain that's getting more blood was active during a particular task, and that's the crux of how fMRI works.

Because if we could demonstrate that genesis had occurred not once, but twice, independently, in our solar system, then that means, by inference, it has occurred a staggering number of times throughout the universe and its 13.7 billion year history.

So the inference we are deriving from this, and several such experiments, is that dynamic information processing, or motion processing, serves as the bedrock for building the rest of the complexity of visual processing it leads to visual integration and eventually to recognition.

Such is also the case when a State or an international organization, without drawing any express inference, states that a reservation is prohibited by the treaty , entirely void or simply incompatible with the object and purpose of the treaty, which is extremely frequent.

In this light, use of such weapons provides a strong inference that the user intended to violate the laws and customs of war, if there is undue suffering of military personnel, if there are undue civilian casualties or other violations from their use.

While under its established guidelines for the transmittal of claim files to Iraq for comments, the Panel may draw an adverse inference against claimants who object to the transmission of their claim files to Iraq, the Panel did not do so in this case.

The wording of paragraph 2 seemed to signify, however, that, without paragraph 2, international obligations created by the rules of the organization would not be covered by the draft articles, an inference which would seem to conflict with the plain meaning of paragraph 1.

Accordingly, the Secretary General proposes to replace the term Code of Conduct by Status, Basic Rights and Duties of Staff , which would more accurately reflect the contents of the proposal and avoid any inference that the document would set general standards applicable to the common system.

True, in the US, as in most existing federal states, the federal budget redistributes income across regions, thus offsetting at least part of the interregional differences in income. But, while this has been repeatedly documented in many cases, the inference that redistribution is equivalent to a shock absorber is wrong.

The old state planner Chen Yuan once cautioned that Chinese reformers had created a birdcage economy in which a capitalist bird was growing within a socialist cage. His inference was that, unless Party leaders were careful, this capitalist bird would literally burst out of its socialist cage, spelling an end to China's Marxist Leninist revolution.

Those who defend such widespread use of prescription drugs insist that a significant part of the population is under treated and, by inference, under medicated. Those opposed to such rampant use of drugs note that diagnostic rates for bipolar disorder, in particular, have skyrocketed by 4,000 and that overmedication is impossible without over diagnosis.

At the level of the Commission, the author argues that the decision was without jurisdiction, that it disregarded the Ontario Code's preamble and international human rights law, that its interpretation of creed was unduly narrow, that it failed properly to take into account the intersection of political opinion, race and religion in his case, and that it failed to draw an inference of discrimination.

We're not really accessing it. And one of the reasons why I think that is, is because we'll be helped by things like graphics and visualization and inference tools, but I also think a big part of it is going to be starting to be able to have better interfaces, to be able to drill down into this kind of data, while still thinking about the big picture here.

In such case, while the damages may not be determined by mere speculation or guess, it will be enough if the evidence show the extent of the damages as a matter of just and reasonable inference, although the result be only approximate. The Panel recognizes that there are inherent difficulties in attempting to place a monetary value on damaged natural resources, particularly resources that are not traded in the market.

The methodology used for this study expressly excluded cases of trafficking in children by means other than those masked by the quot legal quot adoption proceedings, such as alteration of identity, falsification of paternity, abduction and illicit removal of children, partly because of the high level of unreported offences associated with this type of criminal activity, which leads to the inference that the number of cases is even greater.
