To contract a statement α from a belief set B is to give up the belief that α is true, but to keep as many of the remaining beliefs from B while ensuring consistency and deductive closure.
For the same agendas that lead to the impossibility result reviewed in Section 5.4, there exists no judgment aggregation rule satisfying universal domain, collective consistency and deductive closure, independence, unanimity preservation, and non-oligarchy.
Deductive and inductive scales consist of 10 items.
Especially for the solution of moral dilemmas, the cp-reading of moral obligations has proven to be helpful, because although two conflicting cp-obligations may block each other, they do not produce a strict consistency in the sense of deductive logic (Horty 1994).
The proposed formulation represents a deductive approach to determining the total deflection, providing consistency for both dynamic and static analyses.
We will conduct qualitative analyses on the open-ended responses using both inductive and deductive coding methodologies developing at least an 80% inter-rater consistency rating.
The existing methods have been classified as the deductive, inductive, and external approaches (Burisch, 1984) or, alternatively, as the rational theoretical, internal consistency, and criterion-keying approaches, respectively (Burisch, 1984; Simms & Watson, 2007).
In the validation study, indices of internal consistency, long-range stability, factorial validity, convergent validity and hypothetico-deductive validity support the general good psychometric properties of the instrument [ 28].
These are some of the most valuable features of ontologies, as these may enable graph- and network-based analyses, 'fuzzy' matches in searches, verification of data consistency, as well as provide background knowledge about a domain and reveal new knowledge through deductive inference.
And excels at deductive reasoning.
It is deductive and dogmatic.
