This exploration of empirical inference in science ranges over topics as diverse as the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, Peirce's concept of abduction, multiple regression, and the analysis of patterns in astrophysics. At its heart is a formal description of the process by which scientific measurements support convincing explanations of the world around us.
