The evaluations may determine how believable a hypothesis is, whether we may rely on the hypothesis in our decisions, how strong the support is that the sample gives to the hypothesis, and so on.
Starting from these assumptions, we can calculate values of μ/ρ and π from multilocus sequence data collected for strains representing a particular microbial lineage and use these parameter estimates to make a hypothesis about whether the homologous genes in any two populations within the lineage are free to diverge through clonal processes or are constrained by the cohesive effects of HR.
For whatever is not deduced from the phenomena must be called a hypothesis; and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, or based on occult qualities, or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy.
I have not been able to discover the cause of those properties of gravity from phenomena, and I frame no hypotheses; for whatever is not deduced from the phenomena is to be called an hypothesis; and hypotheses, whether metaphysical or physical, whether of occult qualities or mechanical, have no place in experimental philosophy.
We therefore also examined a secondary hypothesis, whether being admitted at the weekend with pneumonia or dehydration is associated with poorer quality of admission care, as a possible mechanism for higher mortality.
Here, the important point was not whether a hypothesis was true, but whether one should act as if it was.
Table 5 also includes the results of a hypothesis test of whether the AUROC is greater than 0.5, that is, whether using lactate to diagnose mortality is better than chance alone.
We performed this study in order to generate a hypothesis as to whether clinicians rely on local or national MRSA data when prescribing antimicrobials.
To further support such a hypothesis, we determined whether delaying the addition of TNF antagonists up to day 5 of cultures still inhibited lymphocyte proliferation induced by PPD.
