The Association of Chief Police Officers are making a common mistake in inference analysis.

Those items they mentioned may be indicators supporting the hypothesis that this person is a terrorist, but they are not diagnostic indicators. Indicators that are not diagnostic do not reduce the uncertainty of the hypothesis states.

I am getting final approval for my dissertation which will be focused on inference analysis concerning terrorism. I should reference this article as an example of how not to do it.
