Applied research sets out to prove a specific hypothesis of value to the clients paying for the research.

In most cases, the exact distribution of the likelihood ratio corresponding to specific hypotheses is very difficult to determine.

Physical determinism has also been used as a specific deterministic hypothesis about human behavior.

They do, however, have to be set up to test a specific hypothesis and they must be controlled.

In symbols, rises when - the general hypothesis and - the specific hypothesis.

When expectations are revised in accordance with the specific hypothesis, behaviour is said to be adaptive.

On the other hand, classification is undertaken to structure reality in order to test specific hypotheses that have already been formulated.

These differences are probably adaptive and familiarity with the literature on allometry makes it easy to test specific hypotheses.

Often, however, a survey is more cautious and exploratory, and ideas are not firm enough to generate a specific hypothesis.

You need to develop a more clear and specific hypothesis before you begin the experimental phase of your project.
