Scientific Method
This document provides an introduction to the key concepts in geo science. It discusses the scientific method, the nature of science including the role of facts, principles, technology and models. It then explains the process of science including observation vs inference, variables and controls in experiments, data collection and analysis, and the importance of experiments being repeatable. Finally, it outlines the steps of the scientific method and defines the difference between accuracy and precision in measurements.
Scientific Method
The scientific method is a process used to answer questions about the world through organized experimentation and analysis. It begins with identifying a problem or question and forming an educated hypothesis based on observations. Experiments are then created and performed to gather data as information. The data is analyzed to make conclusions and communicate results. The experiment may be modified if the data or experiment is flawed. A hypothesis is a possible answer, a theory has been tested and supported, and a law describes patterns in nature without exception.

COVID and Causal Inference -- CogX 6/2020
This document discusses challenges in estimating causal effects of treatments and interventions for COVID-19. It notes that randomized controlled trials are ideal but difficult for COVID-19, and observational studies and simulations have their own challenges, such as identifying appropriate control groups and accounting for uncertainty. It emphasizes the need for well-defined causal questions, interventions, and outcomes when studying complex exposures like pandemics. Special difficulties in COVID-19 research are also outlined.
Experimental Causal Inference
The document discusses experimental causal inference and key concepts in experimental design. It defines causal inference as trying to answer causal questions from data, and experimental causal inference as doing so using experiments rather than observations. The basic ideas of experimental design are outlined as maximizing useful variation, eliminating unhelpful variation, and randomizing what cannot be eliminated. Randomization is described as the key to ensuring treatment groups are statistically equivalent. Some open issues discussed include types of randomization, choice of treatment levels, and other challenges like multiple variables, blocking, and limitations of randomization.

A Cartoon Guide to Causal Inference
This document is a cartoon guide to causal inference by Ellie Murray. It discusses how causal inference aims to estimate what would happen if aspects of the world were different, such as through randomized experiments or statistical methods. It notes that intention-to-treat effects from randomized trials require no assumptions, while per-protocol effects require assumptions like no unmeasured confounding and positivity. Well-defined interventions are also important for consistency. The goal of causal inference is to understand what would happen under counterfactual scenarios, like if we could travel back in time.
The steps of the scientific method
The scientific method involves making observations, forming a testable hypothesis, experimentally testing the hypothesis through controlled experiments, analyzing the results to draw conclusions, and potentially developing a theory if the hypothesis is supported. The key steps are making observations, forming a hypothesis, testing the hypothesis through controlled experiments, and drawing conclusions to either support the hypothesis or form a new one.

A method for detection and reduction of stress using EEG
This document proposes a method to detect stress using EEG signals and then introduce techniques to reduce stress. EEG signals would be used to measure brain activity and voltage fluctuations. A k-means clustering algorithm would classify subjects into stress level categories based on their EEG data. This detection method could then be used to develop products to reduce human stress over time by providing targeted recommendations. The goal is to help reduce the time and effort needed to determine effective stress management solutions.
CABT Math 8 measures of central tendency and dispersion
This document provides an introduction to statistics. It discusses what statistics is, the two main branches of statistics (descriptive and inferential), and the different types of data. It then describes several key measures used in statistics, including measures of central tendency (mean, median, mode) and measures of dispersion (range, mean deviation, standard deviation). The mean is the average value, the median is the middle value, and the mode is the most frequent value. The range is the difference between highest and lowest values, the mean deviation is the average distance from the mean, and the standard deviation measures how spread out values are from the mean. Examples are provided to demonstrate how to calculate each measure.
St1213 notes1
The goal of science is to understand how the world works by applying human intelligence to observe patterns in nature and develop testable theories. Scientific theories help make predictions but do not reveal absolute truth as science is an ongoing process of testing, revising, and occasionally discarding theories. Investigations in science involve asking questions, making observations, collecting data, interpreting results, and comparing conclusions with others to build a better understanding of the world.
Meta-analysis when the normality assumptions are violated (2008)
This document summarizes a simulation study comparing the performance of different meta-analysis methods when assumptions of normality are violated. The study generated simulated datasets with various distributions for true effects and degrees of heterogeneity. It then compared methods like fixed effects, DerSimonian-Laird, maximum likelihood, and permutations in terms of coverage, power, and confidence interval estimation. The results showed that some methods are more robust to non-normal data, with profile likelihood and permutations generally performing best, while other methods like fixed effects and DerSimonian-Laird showed poorer performance.

2. Introduction to Science The Scientific Method (Presentation) Author Plainv...
This document provides an introduction to science and the scientific method. It defines science as using observation and experimentation to discover facts and formulate principles or laws that can be tested. Physical science is defined as the study of non-living matter, including chemistry which examines how matter interacts, and physics which examines energy and its effects on matter. The scientific method is then described as a step-by-step process scientists use to answer questions, involving stating a problem, forming a hypothesis, experimentation, analysis, and conclusions. The key aspects of experiments like variables, controls, and qualitative and quantitative observations are also outlined.
