Murder on the Abductive Express

Here's that paper I talked about in class about the importance of considering and testing multiple possible explanations rather than a single hypothesis:

• J.R. Platt's "Strong Inference" (pdf)

(NOTE: Platt uses the word "inductive" in a more general way than we do in class, to refer to any non-deductive kind of reasoning.)

Also, in honor of abductive arguments, here's a dinosaur comic murder mystery.
