We'll now look into how support functions (a.k.a. confirmation functions) represent the logic of hypothesis confirmation.
Given the complexity and size of neuroimaging data, simple reproducible data-analytic methods, causal thinking, data exploration, hypothesis confirmation and careful design of experiments will become increasingly important, or, in other words, will require the expertise of biostatisticians!
For hypothesis confirmation in Figure 6 figure supplement 1B Student's one-sided t test was used.
Descartes' correspondence from the second half of the 1630s repays close study, among other things for his discussions of hypothesis-confirmation in science, his replies to objections concerning his metaphysics, and his explanation that he had left the most radical skeptical arguments out of this work, since it was written in French for a wide audience (1 350, 561).

This hypothesis needs confirmation with environmental studies involving biotic and abiotic stresses similar to the effects of Fusarium wilt on banana roots62.
This hypothesis finds confirmation in the particle size (sub-micron) and the fact that another copper-bearing pigment in Egypt, the so-called Egyptian blue (CaSi2O5·CuSi2O5), was manufactured from scrap or by-product copper obtained at temple workshops that either melted copper or produced glass and faience23.
This hypothesis finds confirmation within recent literature (Baccaro et al., 2003; Hassel, 2007).
According to our experience, it is mandatory to integrate imaging findings with the clinical and laboratory results to make the correct diagnostic hypothesis; histopathological confirmation is always necessary, also to evaluate the lymphoma subtype.
While this hypothesis requires confirmation, support comes from our previous work in Ins2Akita+/− mice that showed no difference in relative fatigue rates between control and 8 week diabetic mice when a low-frequency fatigue protocol (2 min; 2 Hz) was utilized [14].
This hypothesis requires confirmation.
