Unified Inductive Logic: From Formal Learning to Statistical Inference to Supervised Learning

Other Statistics 2025-02-26 v1 Machine Learning Methodology

Abstract

While the traditional conception of inductive logic is Carnapian, I develop a Peircean alternative and use it to unify formal learning theory, statistics, and a significant part of machine learning: supervised learning. Some crucial standards for evaluating non-deductive inferences have been assumed separately in those areas, but can actually be justified by a unifying principle.
