>That's four samples out of an infinite domain. To fully verify the function f via science you technically need infinite test cases to verify the fact. Usually you can never achieve this in reality so science usually takes what you call a "sample" and you say that if the sample is true very likely the hypothesis is true. The only assumption science makes is that probability theory applies to events in reality.
Usually equating null-hypothesis significance testing with the scientific method is a sign of cargo cult.
- crimsonalucard 7y agoTo verify an entire domain you need to test the full domain. I'm not strictly equating inference or verification to science. I am simply equating this: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Scientific_method https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Scientific_method Testing and hypothesis are the key words. Prediction is the other keyword. Analysis I never covered, but you assumed I used null hypothesis testing. Tell me what is your opinion of all of this since you think my opinion is a 'cargo cult.'
