In particular, they contribute hypothesis formation, logical deduction, and empirical testing.

Abductive validation is common practice in hypothesis formation in science; moreover, Peirce argues it is a ubiquitous aspect of thought:

That is why, in the scientific method pioneered by Galileo and Bacon, the abductive stage of hypothesis formation is conceptualized simply as induction.

Discovery science (also known as discovery-based science) is a scientific methodology which emphasizes analysis of large volumes of experimental data with the goal of finding new patterns or correlations, leading to hypothesis formation and other scientific methodologies.

An indoor air quality investigation procedure is best characterized as a cycle of information gathering, hypothesis formation, and hypothesis testing.

Its primary aim was to study hypothesis formation and discovery in science.

Thus, a program that is able to reduce this number of candidate solutions through the process of hypothesis formation is essential.

Buchanan had similar ideas and interests as Feigenbaum and Lederberg, but his special interests were scientific discovery and hypothesis formation.

As a theoretical tool, social complexity theory serves as a basis for the connection of micro- and macro-level social phenomena, providing a meso-level or middle-range theoretical platform for hypothesis formation.

Because language learning consists of constructing a system through hypothesis formation and revision, errors are a natural part of the learning process.
