For example, as Peirce came to extend and generalize his notion of abduction, abduction became defined as inference to and provisional acceptance of an explanatory hypothesis for the purpose of testing it.
Finally, we also found evidence of positive selection at one of the ten molecular markers analyzed, although this inference should only be considered provisional at this point.
Because the information in such situations is insufficient to constrain one's inferences fully, perceivers must make do with provisional hypotheses about a target's mental states, which remain ambiguous until further clues about their contents are discerned.
Therefore, the analysis presented here is qualitative; inferences drawn from this analysis should be taken as exploratory and provisional, pending empirical verification.
Nowadays, however, their characterization can only be considered provisional, as they consist of incomplete annotations of often heterogeneous and unreliable experimental evidences, computational inferences and theoretical predictions.
In any case, even the term SREAT must be considered provisional as it represents an example of "criterium ex adiuvantibus" which refers to the process of making an inference about disease causation from an observed response of the disease to a treatment.
Because the ordering of contigs and genes within scaffolds may not always be accurate, inferences about the clustering of gene families (e.g., Paps et al. 2015) should be regarded as provisional until the assembly of genome scaffolds is either confirmed or improved.
They are inherently provisional.
