hasDefinition

A form of logical inference which starts with an observation or set of observations and then seeks to find the simplest and most likely conclusion from the observations. This process, unlike deductive reasoning, yields a plausible conclusion but does not positively verify it. One can understand abductive reasoning as inference to the best explanation.
