Evidential reasoning

Evidential reasoning

Evidential reason or Evidential reasoning may refer to:

* Probabilistic logic, a combination of the capacity of probability theory to handle uncertainty with the capacity of deductive logic to exploit structure
* "Evidential reason", a type of reason (argument) in contrast to an "explanatory reason"
* Evidential Reasoning Approach, in decision theory, an approach for multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) under uncertainty
