Definitions for "Inferring"
is the process of making logical conclusions through reasoning from evidence. In inferring we make logical statements about events that cannot be dealt with directly because of time or space. For example, we know a great deal about life on Earth in the age of dinosaurs by making inferences from existing data. Similarly, we know a great deal about our universe by making inferences from observable data here on Earth. Through evidence and reasoning, we make inferences about the movement of continents, and from those inferences develop a theory of plate tectonics. But inferences, no matter how logical, are never final. They must be tested to determine if they are true.
