Sentence examples for law hypothesis from inspiring English sources

But the decisive feature, as Popper saw it, should be whether it is in principle conceivable that evidence could be cited that would refute (or disconfirm) a given law, hypothesis, or theory.

Indeed, as has been discussed by Klaus and Plenz [23], with a large number of samples, any distribution that deviates from the expected distribution by more than noise due to sampling, will eventually yield a p-value such that the power law hypothesis will be rejected, thus leading to the potentially incorrect conclusion that the system is not critical.

In fact, our statistical analysis supporting power law scaling of avalanche size distributions compares the power law hypothesis to the alternative hypothesis of an exponential distribution as expected from independent firing (and as shown for our shuffled data).

Williams (2008b, c) reports that many prospective science teachers had misconceptions about key terms relating to the nature of science—"fact," "law," "theory," "hypothesis".

All hypotheses are significant, but the most plausible ones to explain cultural proximity are the shared language family, the bilingual, the shared religion, and the gravity law hypotheses.

An analytical model for validating this concept is presented here, which is based on the typical material behaviour law hypotheses of nonlinear mechanical beam behaviour.

When the power-law hypothesis is not rejected, Clauset et al. [1] employ a model selection process to determine the best model for the data.

This method has been used to assess physiological neuronal avalanches and the results have shown that the power-law hypothesis is not rejected for this data [2].

Moreover, this highlights the fact that stringent statistical testing, such as this, with high sampling may lead to rejecting the power-law hypothesis and so rejecting the criticality hypothesis even when the system is critical.

The fact that the power-law hypothesis was not rejected for lower numbers of avalanches demonstrates the partial scale-free behaviour of the system in the region of the critical regime.

This is to be expected as has been discussed by Klaus and Plenz [2], when a distribution deviates from the expected distribution by more than noise from sampling then given a large enough number of samples the power-law hypothesis will eventually be rejected.
