Stages of Casual Inference: Induction and Deduction
Both Induction and Deduction are necessary within casual inference because they are two ways of approaching a problem and often go hand in hand. Induction goes from evidence -> hypothesis while deduction works in the forward direction; cause (hypothesis) -> effect (theory, conclusion). Artificial Intelligence has started automating Induction and Deduction, an example is Bayesian networks.

Example of an Incorrect Inductive Generalization
A biologist observes that every swan they have seen in Europe is white, and every swan they have seen in North America is white. Based on these numerous observations, the biologist concludes that all swans in the world must be white. Which statement best analyzes the biologist's conclusion?
Logical Hypothesis
In the context of scientific research, what is the primary characteristic of inductive reasoning?
A researcher observes that across 15 separate studies, participants who sleep fewer than six hours per night consistently score lower on memory tasks. The researcher uses these findings to form the broader generalization that sleep deprivation impairs memory performance. Because this generalization is based on numerous consistent and accurate observations, it is guaranteed to be correct.
