Hypothesis Phase
Stems from the Greek wordhupotithenai To supposeTo speculate

Several different solutions To pick the best solution Or more than one solution required
![Page 14: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Set Goals
Specifies how well the solution works Goals achieved with experiments
carried out in Synthesis Phase Experimental results used for
conclusion in Validation Phase
![Page 15: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15
Set Goals
Each goal will correspond to experiments in Synthesis Phase
Experiment required to acquire knowledge
Knowledge that characterizes the effectiveness of the solution for that problem
![Page 16: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Research Hypothesis
A declarative sentence that asserts a desired, expected or possible conclusion of a goal
![Page 17: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Set Goals
Task: Identify faster traffic Problem: Which Highway has higher
traffic speed? Objective: To decide which highway has
faster traffic that the other highways
![Page 18: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Set Goals
Solution Mechanism: Measure traffic speed using pneumatic detectors
Goal: To identify which highway has higher traffic speed

Define Factors
Knowledge propositions established Fixed parameters or condition Factors – variable parameters Varied to observe effect on the
performance
![Page 20: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20
Define Factors
1st Step – Make a complete list of all parameters and conditions
Parameters – specification of system Condition – specification of the
environment
![Page 21: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
21
Define Factors
2nd Step - From the complete list, choose the factors
Choice must be justified Duration Realistic
![Page 22: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22
Define Factors
3rd Step – What values should be assigned to the fixed parameters?
Sometimes just common sense However, some values are not
common
![Page 23: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Define Factors
Operating Pilot (OP) point Informal search for values suitable for
the governing proposition (parameters)
search for range of values suitable for factors
![Page 24: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Define Factors
Performance a function of joint values of parameters and factors
Performance not same when different parameters or factors are changed
Gradient Ascent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steepest_descent)
![Page 25: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Postulate Performance Metrics
Performance metric is a postulate that transforms the results into measures of performance for drawing conclusions about the objective
![Page 26: 1 Research Methodology EPH 7112 LECTURE 5: HYPOTHESIS PHASE](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022032006/56649d6d5503460f94a4d104/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Postulate Performance Metrics
Required to establish “what to measure”
Finally used to conclude about the objective
