Scientific Investigation

Scientists often begin an investigation by plain old poking around: tinkering, brainstorming, trying to make some new observations, chatting with colleagues

the systematic, creative, and objective process of investigating, collecting, and analyzing data to discover new information, validate theories, or enhance understanding of a topic

the active,, systematic process of noticing, monitoring, and recording phenomena, behaviors, or data using the senses or scientific instruments

a conclusion reached on the basis of evidence and reasoning.

a tentative, testable, and falsifiable proposal, based on observation or existing knowledge, that explains a phenomenon

a controlled procedure carried out to support, refute, or validate a hypothesis, providing insight into cause-and-effect relationships by manipulating variables

a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another

a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another.

factors kept intentionally unchanged throughout an experiment to ensure a fair test

a standard component in an experiment that remains untreated or unchanged to serve as a benchmark for comparison

a multidisciplinary field combining statistics, AI, and computer science to analyze complex data for actionable insights

summarizes the experiment by restating the hypothesis, stating whether the data supports or refutes it, and interpreting the findings

the systematic process of breaking down complex data, information, or materials into smaller components to understand their structure, function, and relationships

systematic, often unintentional, errors in the design, data collection, analysis, or interpretation phases of research that lead to inaccurate, skewed, or non-objective results

focus on AI-driven analytics, cloud-dominated storage, and automated, interactive visualization, with a strong emphasis on data privacy and governance
