Abstract
Commentary: Exploratory data analysis.
Highlights
Despite the importance of exploratory data analysis (EDA) in statistics and science, few people have worked on its philosophical foundations
The present author (Haig, 2012; Behrens et al, 2013) have commented on philosophical aspects of EDA. They hold contrasting views about the appropriateness of abductive reasoning as a core component of the philosophy of EDA. Behrens and his co-authors think that abduction provides the “core logic” of EDA
Behrens et al begin by taking their cue from Charles Peirce, and state that abduction is the form of inference involved in generating new ideas or hypotheses
Summary
Behrens and his co-authors think that abduction provides the “core logic” of EDA. Abduction is concerned with the generation and evaluation of explanatory hypotheses. Behrens et al begin by taking their cue from Charles Peirce, and state that abduction is the form of inference involved in generating new ideas or hypotheses.
