The phrase "baseline hypothesis" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in scientific or research contexts to refer to an initial assumption or starting point for further investigation.
Example: "The baseline hypothesis for our study is that increased exercise leads to improved mental health outcomes."
Alternatives: "initial hypothesis" or "foundational hypothesis".
This is clearly a baseline hypothesis, but little evidence is available to affirm or refute it.
The baseline hypothesis was suggested by Hillyard et al. (1998), Luck et al. (1994), and Luck and Hillyard (1995).
In contrast to our baseline hypothesis, we found maternal mortality to be positively correlated with food and crop production indexes (standardized coefficient = 0.12).
The expert panel considered the following baseline hypothesis about overall patient treatment satisfaction in relation to their baseline chronic hand eczema (CHE) characteristics.
To assess the coinstantaneous relationship of positive, negative and ID-images with depression severity at baseline (hypothesis 1) and at the follow-up (hypothesis 2), cross-sectional and longitudinal path analysis models were conducted.
The attentional modulation at contra and ipsilateral brain sites can easily be explained on the basis of this assumption, but not e.g., on the basis of a baseline hypothesis that was used to interpret early attentional effects on the P1 (cf. Section 2.1).
This study adopts a diagnostic state-and-transition framework to narrate and document baseline hypotheses for the potential evolutionary trajectories Clark Fork River, near Milltown, Montana.
As there are only a very limited amount of measured data available on sediment budgets with altered land-use and climate change settings, the WASA-SED model was used to obtain qualitative estimates on the effects of past and future change scenarios to derive a baseline for hypothesis building and future discussion on the evolution of sediment budgets in such a dryland setting.
This could be due to dissimilarities in their stimulation protocols, as stimulated brain regions as well as stimulation frequencies, length and intensities were different and depended on the baseline pathophysiological hypothesis, mainly the belief that the migrainous brain was hyperexcitable or, on the contrary, hypoexcitable.
2. Reduction of depressive symptoms in participants with elevated scores at baseline (treatment hypothesis).
We use resampling techniques to build a baseline null-hypothesis distribution from which statistical significance can be derived.
