  2. Hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypothesis

    The hypothesis of Andreas Cellarius, showing the planetary motions in eccentric and epicyclical orbits. A hypothesis (pl.: hypotheses) is a proposed explanation for a phenomenon. A scientific hypothesis must be based on observations and make a testable and reproducible prediction about reality, in a process beginning with an educated guess or ...

  3. Experimental design diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experimental_design_diagram

    Experimental Design Diagram (EDD) is a diagram used in science to design an experiment.This diagram helps to identify the essential components of an experiment. It includes a title, the research hypothesis and null hypothesis, the independent variable, the levels of the independent variable, the number of trials, the dependent variable, the operational definition of the dependent variable and ...

  4. Scientific method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method

    The history of scientific method considers changes in the methodology of scientific inquiry, not the history of science itself. The development of rules for scientific reasoning has not been straightforward; scientific method has been the subject of intense and recurring debate throughout the history of science, and eminent natural philosophers and scientists have argued for the primacy of ...

  5. Design of experiments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Design_of_experiments

    The use of a sequence of experiments, where the design of each may depend on the results of previous experiments, including the possible decision to stop experimenting, is within the scope of sequential analysis, a field that was pioneered [12] by Abraham Wald in the context of sequential tests of statistical hypotheses. [13]

  7. Glossary of experimental design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Glossary_of_experimental_design

    Design matrix: A matrix description of an experiment that is useful for constructing and analyzing experiments. Design of Experiments: A systematic, rigorous approach to engineering problem-solving that applies principles and techniques at the data collection stage so as to ensure the generation of valid, defensible, and supportable engineering ...

  8. Research design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Research_design

    A research design typically outlines the theories and models underlying a project; the research question(s) of a project; a strategy for gathering data and information; and a strategy for producing answers from the data. [1] A strong research design yields valid answers to research questions while weak designs yield unreliable, imprecise or ...

    A hypothesis for explaining the problem considering existing theoretical approaches; A verification of the hypotheses by an experiment; Analysis of the test outcome. [1] Scientific study involves scientific theory, scientific method, scientific models, experiments and physical situations. It may refer to:
