In fact, the lack of meteorological assumptions to derive Table 5, showing purely statistical analysis of the observed data, makes it valuable for its posterior meteorological interpretation or for testing a prediction model.
We leveraged classical genetic approaches to experimentally test a prediction of the fitness-associated recombination model for the evolution of plastic recombination.
If a study tests a prediction or hypothesis based on a theory and the findings are consistent with the theory, then the findings are considered to support that theory [ 14].
A split-sample technique will be used to test a prediction rule; so, 50% of the sample will be used for the development of the model, and the other 50% will be used for the validation.
Finally, we tested a major prediction from the conditioning account of problematic drinking [Tomie, A., & Sharma, N. (2013).
In 2006 the Land Transport Authority tested a traffic-prediction system built by IBM to set the tolls.
We tested a priori predictions from sexual conflict theory using two closely-related species of penduline tits that exhibit different breeding systems.
We recapitulate the experimentally observed tumour pHe effect of buffer therapy, testing a model prediction in vivo in mice.
The scientific method is essentially a process for conducting systematic observation and testing a new prediction (hypothesis) consistent with the observation.
In this way, gaining assurance that P by testing a few predictions may also give us assurance that the indefinitely many further predictions entailed by P that haven't (yet) been tested will nonetheless also be borne out.
