Abstract

An information processing model of some important aspects of inductive reasoning is presented within the context of one scientific discipline. Given a collection of experimental (mass spectrometry) data from several chemical molecules the computer program described here separates the molecules into well-behaved subclasses and selects from the space of all explanatory processes the characteristic processes for each subclass. The definitions of well-behaved and characteristic embody several heuristics which are discussed. Some results of the program are discussed which have been useful to chemists and which lend credibility to this approach.
