Abstract

This article defines the set of inference rules for JSM reasoning. Hypotheses concerning the causes generated by these rules form empirical regularities (ERs). Many types of ER (the intension of the concept of ERs) form a lattice. Types of ERs can be represented by trees of a special type.

Notes

  1. n can be considered as a statement of the degree of plausibility: the smaller n is, the greater the degree of plausibility.

  2. If the effect under study is not a singleton (singular), the truth values are \(\bar {v} = \left\langle {v,n} \right\rangle \), where n ≥ 2 and v = 1, –1, 0, because they are generated by the integration of plausible inference rules [5].

  3. The symbol ⇌ means equality by definition.

  4. For the sake of simplicity, we omit the upper index σ, where σ = +, –.

  5. In this regard, it is worth mentioning [12], which discusses data mining and knowledge discovery.

  6. The JSM method of ARS uses double openness: open data and open procedures, which is expressed by the principle: open data are more important than big data.

  7. The operationalization of the definition of Mσ - and Pσ -predicates of the JSM-method of the ARS also corresponds to the non-Aristotelian structure of concepts [7].

  8. When defining the JSM operator \({{\bar {O}}_{{x,y}}}(\Omega )\), replace \(\Omega \) with \(D_{1}^{h}(p)\).

  9. Replace the previously used symbol \(\Delta \) with \(D_{2}^{h}(p)\).

  10. Suffice it to consider v instead of \(\bar {v}\).

  11. For the sake of brevity, we will use instead of the term empirical prelaw its abbreviation—EPLC.

  12. For the sake of brevity, we will speak of the empirical prelaw\(A_{1}^{ + }\), omitting the word hypothesis.

  13. The diagram in Figure 2 represents both FTE \(A_{\alpha }^{ + }\), and FTE \(A_{\alpha }^{ - }\), where 1 ≤ α ≤ 6.

  14. For the sake of simplicity, we omit the upper index σ in \(A_{\chi }^{\sigma }\).

  15. The labels ∃ and∀ are omitted for the sake of simplicity in the representation of the tree T*.
