Abstract
GUHA or general unary hypotheses automaton aims at generating automatically all relevant statements and generalizations about a field of research, for example, a chosen empirical field of social research. For that reason the concept of observational calculi and their relation to the theoretical level of social research is discussed. A statistical generalization of the observational calculus, statistical inference rules and ten generalized statistical quantifiers are defined and discussed. After this formal outline of the theory of GUHA methods, some applications of statistical quantifiers in GUHA methods are discussed. Finally, a bibliography of GUHA methods concludes the paper.
