Description: Intelligence Analysis as Discovery of Evidence, Hypotheses, and Arguments by Gheorghe Tecuci, David A. Schum, Dorin Marcu, Mihai Boicu Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description This book teaches the evidential and inferential issues involved in connecting the dots to draw defensible and persuasive conclusions from masses of evidence, providing a hands-on learning experience with an advanced analytical tool to generate and test hypotheses. Publisher Description This unique book on intelligence analysis covers several vital but often overlooked topics. It teaches the evidential and inferential issues involved in connecting the dots to draw defensible and persuasive conclusions from masses of evidence: from observations we make, or questions we ask, we generate alternative hypotheses as explanations or answers; we make use of our hypotheses to generate new lines of inquiry and discover new evidence; and we test the hypotheses with the discovered evidence. To facilitate understanding of these issues and enable the performance of complex analyses, the book introduces an intelligent analytical tool, called Disciple-CD. Readers will practice with Disciple-CD and learn how to formulate hypotheses; develop arguments that reduce complex hypotheses to simpler ones; collect evidence to evaluate the simplest hypotheses; and assess the relevance and the believability of evidence, which combine in complex ways to determine its inferential force and the probabilities of the hypotheses.
