| To unambiguously cover cases of retrodiction, the assumption is better put in terms of the unobserved resembling, in relevant respects, the observed. |
| She also cites the failure of early causal theories to deal with retrodiction. |
| By retrodiction of the effect we seek to trace back the hypothetical cause. |
| This includes such features as modeling and idealization, the use of theoretical concepts and abstractions, and the modification of theories by the absorption of empirical data through prediction and retrodiction. |
| Here lies the workings that produce a range of counterintuitive outcomes from system behaviour, including equifinality with associated problems of prediction and retrodiction of system trajectory. |
