What's the difference between induce and infer?

Induce


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To lead in; to introduce.
  • (v. t.) To draw on; to overspread.
  • (v. t.) To lead on; to influence; to prevail on; to incite; to move by persuasion or influence.
  • (v. t.) To bring on; to effect; to cause; as, a fever induced by fatigue or exposure.

  • (v. t.) To generalize or conclude as an inference from all the particulars; -- the opposite of deduce.

Infer


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To bring on; to induce; to occasion.
  • (v. t.) To offer, as violence.
  • (v. t.) To bring forward, or employ as an argument; to adduce; to allege; to offer.
  • (v. t.) To derive by deduction or by induction; to conclude or surmise from facts or premises; to accept or derive, as a consequence, conclusion, or probability; to imply; as, I inferred his determination from his silence.
  • (v. t.) To show; to manifest; to prove.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Consensual but rationally weak criteria devised to extract inferences of causality from such results confirm the generic inadequacy of epidemiology in this area, and are unable to provide definitive scientific support to the perceived mandate for public health action.
  • (2) We infer from these results that endotoxin ameliorates the cyclical changes in blood cell counts by regulating hematopoietic proliferative activity at the stem cell level.
  • (3) The operational meaning of all the resulting theorems is that when any of them appear to be refuted experimentally, the presence of more than one parallel transport pathway (that is, of membrane heterogeneity transverse to the direction of transport) can be inferred and analyzed.

  • (17) Two consequences of these conditions are (1) patient classification into syndrome types (e.g., phonological dysgraphia, agrammatism, and so forth) can play no useful role in research concerned with issues about the structure of normal cognitive functioning or its dissolution under conditions of brain damage; and (2) only single-patient studies allow valid inferences about the structure of cognitive mechanisms from the analysis of impaired performance.
