Two studies by the same group of researchers used the single independent component approach without a-priori hypothesis [24, 25].
Then, I throw something at the system and look, without formulating a hypothesis.
In contrast to previous studies analysing the immunoglobulin reactivity against one single antigen during malaria, in the current report we used a more global approach to analyze the response to P. falciparum infection without apriori forming a hypothesis about the nature of the response.
Lula's institute on Tuesday said Janot had offered a hypothesis without proof.
Without such independent confirmation, a hypothesis cannot be considered scientific.
According to Du Châtelet, part of the scientist's job is to "have certain knowledge of the facts that are within our reach, and to know all the circumstances attendant upon the phenomena we want to explain… for he who would hazard a hypothesis without this precaution would run the risk of seeing his explanation overthrown by new facts that he had neglected to find out about" (IP §61).
Not wanting to be one to reject a hypothesis without testing it, I decided to live with the possibility for a few days that all of it -- the recurrent infections, the fevers, the dizziness, the bizarre neurological symptoms -- really was, as my neurologist believed, all in my head.
This phenomenon again points to bounded rationality which looks for satisfying and not optimizing the costs of giving up of a hypothesis without trying to sustain it, as this search could exceed the benefits [35].
We used the hypothesis-free genome-wide association (GWAS) approach to discover new genetic markers without a priori hypothesis of the underlying genetic variation, and the candidate gene approach to replicate genetic variation that has previously been associated with a modified statin response or occurred in a pathway that relates to statin pharmacokinetics [ 425].
No specific responses were anticipated before data collection, so the coding of data was loosely based on a grounded theory model that allowed student perceptions to emerge without a preconceived hypothesis.
