Inductive reasoning
Inductive reasoning is any of various methods of reasoning in which broad generalizations or principles are derived from a body of observations.[1][2] This article is concerned with the inductive reasoning other than deductive reasoning (such as mathematical induction), where the conclusion of a deductive argument is certain given the premises are correct; in contrast, the truth of the conclusion of an inductive argument is at best probable, based upon the evidence given.[3][4]
