The phrase "a more specific hypothesis" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used when discussing scientific research or theories that require clarification or refinement of a hypothesis.
Example: "To improve our understanding of the phenomenon, we need to formulate a more specific hypothesis regarding the underlying mechanisms."
Alternatives: "a clearer hypothesis" or "a detailed hypothesis".
Note that the Decision Tree algorithm used ensures that each decision node corresponds to a more specific hypothesis than its parent allowing the Decision Tree hierarchy to be rediscovered during the SOHN building process.
We simply do not have at present enough information to produce a more specific hypothesis for the second phase of the DUI mechanism, the one that is responsible for the exclusion of the maternal genome from the male germ line.
In the second experiment, we tested a more specific hypothesis about the functional role of the task-dependent modulation of the MGB.
This may correspond to an even slower maturation step; however, there are insufficient data to further develop a more specific hypothesis.
As the prevalence of infection likely exceeds the prevalence of PBC, further investigations will be necessary to address a more specific hypothesis, that the combined effects of HBRV infection on the background of genetic predisposition are required to trigger autoimmune liver disease.
When groups are (nearly) universally exposed or a more specific hypothesis cannot be tested, often the best one can do is to establish a "dose-response-relationship" [ 22], i.e., unravel differences in the frequency of consumption of the incriminated food between cases and controls.
I see a more specific possibility.
h6 is a child of h1 and therefore represents a refinement rule (more specific hypothesis).
A secondary goal was to test the more specific hypothesis that visual-spatial WM, but not auditory-verbal WM, would be inversely related to inattentive behaviour ratings, such that better performance on visual-spatial WM tasks would be associated with lower ratings of inattentive behaviour.
Thus, the result from Experiment 1 could speak to a more general relationship between a tendency to be model-based and a tendency to be goal-directed on separate "tasks", rather than to the more specific hypothesis that associations learned in model-based fashion are more sensitive to subsequent devaluation.
With the base hypothesis, IVSA continues to learn less significant and more specific hypothesis sets until the system is satisfied with its own performance.
