Scientific Investigation

a systematic process used to explore observations, answer questions, and test hypotheses about the natural world using the scientific method

a systematic, evidence-based inquiry designed to discover, interpret, or revise knowledge

the active, systematic process of noticing, monitoring, and recording behaviors, events, or data using the senses or scientific instruments to gain knowledge

a logical conclusion or educated guess drawn from evidence, observations, and prior knowledge.

a tentative, testable, and falsifiable explanation for an observed phenomenon, acting as an educated guess or starting point for further investigation

a controlled, repeatable procedure designed to test a hypothesis, investigate cause-and-effect, or demonstrate a known fact

An independent variable is the "cause" or input that a researcher changes or controls, while the dependent variable is the "effect" or outcome that is measured, as its value depends on the changes made to the independent variable.

Independent variables are what we expect will influence dependent variables

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

a standard, baseline, or comparison point used to measure the effect of an independent variable, often by keeping other factors constant in an experiment, or as a mechanism to regulate processes and ensure they meet desired standards, like in management

a value or set of values representing a specific concept or concepts

the final part of a discourse, argument, or process that summarizes main points, offers a final judgment or result, and provides closure, leaving a lasting impression or suggesting broader implications

to study it in detail by breaking it down into its parts to understand its nature, discover its meaning, identify key factors, and see how the components relate to each other and the whole

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 processing data instantly for immediate decision-making, fueled by edge computing and faster data pipelines.
