What can science claim? How does it work? What can’t science do? What pitfalls exist in science? How should science be communicated?
My scientific method for data science:
- Define problem
- Preliminary research
- Hypothesis or inductive reasoning
- Design experiment or query
- Collect data
- Analyze results
- Make claims using deductive reasoning
- Post methods, data, reproducible steps
- Publish conclusions
