----- 穿越边界：生物和社会科学推断

ISBN: 9780195331448 出版年：2008 页码：254 Steel, Daniel Oxford University Press

Extrapolation consists of generalizing causal conclusions from one context to others that may differ in relevant aspects. In Across the Boundaries, Steel argues that previous accounts of extrapolation are inadequate and proposes a better approach that is able to answer methodological critiques of extrapolation from animal models to humans.
