Causal inference - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Inference, known as Anumana in Sanskrit, is the process of deriving knowledge based on existing information or observations. It can be used for personal understanding or to demonstrate truths to others. An inference may be SvArtha (for oneself) or ParArtha (for others). Vyapti, the invariable concom

In Indian philosophy, inference is considered one of the six ways to attain true knowledge. It involves three constituents: Hetu (middle term), Sadhya (major term), and Paksha (minor term). The steps of inference include apprehension of the middle term, recollection of the relation between middle an
