Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

We propose and investigate an Analogy Principle in the context of Unary Inductive Logic based on a notion of support by structural similarity which is often employed to motivate scientific conjectures. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
