When you explain or interpret the things you observe, you are inferring, or making an inference.

Inference is the act or process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true.[1] The conclusion drawn is also called an idiomatic. The laws of valid inference are studied in the field of logic.

In science, inference mean ability to know what is the outcome or the sources of the problem.

Scientifically speaking, to infer is to take available data and deduce relatively compatible (i.e. non-contradictory, non-presumptive) conclusions based on that data that allows one to use the data in a scientifically useful manner.
