PPT-The Research Question Theories, Hypotheses, Observations . . .Oh my!!

Arriving at the TruthA summary The Truth is concrete but observing the truth is Difficult incomplete and totally based on observations formed from our experiences which themselves are a product of previous observations external stimuli and how we internalize them . Sources: D. Jensen. “Research Methods for Empirical Computer Science.”. . William M.K. . Trochim. . “Research Methods Knowledgebase”. More on Causality. What is causality?. What’s Important About Causality?. Question 1. Question: What role do hypotheses play in scientific inquiry?. Answer: A . hypothesis. provides a . testable. explanation for an observation.. Question 2. Question: What is the difference between an independent variable and a dependent variable?. PhD About?. Is PhD About. Doing more course work? Taking more interesting, higher-level courses?. Gaining broader knowledge in your general area (e.g., CS, IS, SE, etc.)?. Developing more sophisticated systems, better tools/programs?. Given data to explain, search for possible explanaiers (hypotheses). Score them. Assemble them into a composite explanation. Hypothesis Assembly Algorithm. Look for essential hypotheses. a hypothesis that is the only way to explain some data. EQ: What are the most effective ways to carry out a scientific inquiry?. Sometimes in science, events are so big (like the explosion of a volcano), or so small (like the movement of Euglena) or so distant (like the movement of a star) that it is impossible for our brains to understand them in their entirety..
