But can't we quantify the support for or against a hypothesis in an intersubjectively compelling way, without buying into a subjectivist or a behavioral framework?
And we are inclined to classify proving a theorem in algebra, testing a hypothesis in physics and constructing an argument in philosophy as exercises of the capacity to operate with knowledge of truths.
The old method of inquiry into heart disease was to start with basic laboratory research, test a hypothesis in animals, develop a drug and then test it in humans.
Specifically, we generate a hypothesis in the form of a set of samples considered for removal one by one.
As in the simplest method we described in Section 2.2, we generate a hypothesis in the form of a set of samples considered for removal one by one.
In section 3.2, we have encountered the idea of a scientist who assesses the probability of a hypothesis in the light of the evidence a conception based on Rudolf Carnap's seminal work "Logical Foundations of Probability" (1950 [1962]).
In sum, these results support a hypothesis in which a higher rate of apoptosis within a tumor, either at early stage or during progression, or both, might promote genetic instability causing more aggressive disease.
When students were asked whether they were confident "designing experiments to test a hypothesis" in both a cell (CPQ2) and genetics (GPQ3) laboratory, our assessment tools report that roughly 50% of the students report themselves as "very confident" or "confident".
It helps to generate a hypothesis in such a way that the investigation of the relationships between manifest variables and factors is not based on any prior assumptions about which manifest variables are related to which factors [ 6].
