    We have just completed our analysis of one kind of inductive argument, generalizing from a sample. There are other kinds.

It consists merely of several independent topical areas that focus on a particular kind of inductive argument. This section of the chapter briefly introduces some of the different kinds. Some inductive arguments are of more than one kind.
