Uncertainty's ability to disrupt knowledge ("we don't know") and actualize risk ("potential for harm") gave the public a place to draw their own inferences, make their own evaluations, assert their right to know the potential hazards they face, and to motivate policy action.
Knowing how the inferences were made (their derivation) and their associated confidence is necessary to yield a complete picture of what is known, and what is unknown, about a particular identity.
Situational awareness (SA) develops when individuals, involved within a certain situation, look around, gather information about the situation, make inferences, test their inferences, and draw further inferences from the results [10].
This means we have the special problem of making inferences about inferences (i.e., meta-inference).
This is closely related to, but distinct from, 'meta-cognition', where subjects make inferences about their own inferences (for example, when rating one's confidence about a decision).
Moreover, compared with NH children, children with CI more often have an impaired insight into other people's emotions and perspective [ 30– 33], which further hampers their ability to make inferences about their own behavior from cues in their environment.
In cattle, SNPs have been applied to study their genomic diversity and to make inferences about their domestication history, and a recent study corroborated crossbreeding of taurine and indicine cattle in central Asia (Decker et al. 2014).
Much remained mysterious, particularly about the baleen whales, which are too big to study in aquariums, but it was easy to make inferences from their large brains and complex neural pathways, and from the behavior of their clever smaller relatives the dolphins.
they are under no obligation to do so, and a jury is instructed to make no inferences from their choice.
We use faces to make rapid inferences about their personalities, he argued, and then make decisions accordingly.
