Deductive reasoning pervades statistics and data science...but how far can it get us to the right conclusion from data? Elina Vessonen (Finnish Institute of Health) gives a great 20-minute presentation reviewing the role of deduction in scientific reasoning. Elina begins with a common statistical example and then covers common deductive fallacies and their role in science.
It's a short and gentle introduction to a fundamental concept. Definitely worth your time!
