Crop simulation models are commonly used to forecast the performance of cropping systems under different hypotheses of change.
However, by designing evaluative tests to compare specific maps against each other under specific hypotheses of change, we can paint a richer picture of possible sources of difference.
We considered hypotheses of change in the main socioeconomic indicators and, using the trend surfaces as a base, we calculated the resulting changes in the landscape typology (the municipalities change position on the trend surfaces maps).
Our fourth goal is to examine specific hypotheses of change.
LRTs were confined to testing only hypotheses of change at these nodes of interest rather than performing numerous additional tests and thereby increasing the chance of Type I error.
This is a preliminary step for formally testing the hypothesis of changes in the slope of the PC in the remaining part of the section.
Comparative analyses of gene pathways that consider the correlation structure of expression data can provide a suitable test for the hypothesis of changes in the underlying network.
These findings do not support the hypothesis of changes in immunological variables after a 2,4-D application (Faustini et al., 1996).
This justifies the hypothesis of change in the valence of dissolved ions of many experimental works.
This hypothesis of change has been filled in by mapping out a set of assumptions about how technology and the market would function as drives for change.
