An inductive argument, as Nancy Wood reminds us, "provides a number of examples and draws a claim, in the form of a conclusion, from them." Wood goes on to note that "[i]nductive argument is also called argument from generalization or argument from example because the claim is a generalization made on the basis of the examples" (198-199).
